About the Course

In the first course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will study the foundational concept of neural networks and deep learning. By the end, you will be familiar with the significant technological trends driving the rise of deep learning; build, train, and apply fully connected deep neural networks; implement efficient (vectorized) neural networks; identify key parameters in a neural network’s architecture; and apply deep learning to your own applications. The Deep Learning Specialization is our foundational program that will help you understand the capabilities, challenges, and consequences of deep learning and prepare you to participate in the development of leading-edge AI technology. It provides a pathway for you to gain the knowledge and skills to apply machine learning to your work, level up your technical career, and take the definitive step in the world of AI....

I know this is intended for a broad audience, but I found that the assignments were too easy. Not that they are testing easy material, but that the answers are almost stated directly in the questions.

One of the best courses I have taken so far. The instructor has been very clear and precise throughout the course. The homework section is also designed in such a way that it helps the student learn .

Really excellent course - Andrew Ng doesn't disappoint with his ability to distill complex topics down to their key components and teach them in very manageable ways. I can't recommend this course more.

The course was great, as it came from Professor Ng. I have learnt how Neural Nets work and intuition for Back Propagation. I had a few doubts and they were well clarified by the course mentors clearly.

Excellent Course! Concepts are clearly explained. If you put in your part to learn, it's simplicity itself to finish the whole thing! Thanks Andrew! Great job just like all your machine learning course!

A great introduction to those ones who want to learn the theory and, specially, the practice in short-term. Even if you've already been introduced to neural this is a good course if you need to revisit.

It is a good course for Deep Learning beginners. The course progresses gradually with simple examples. Of-course the course is not deep into the derivations but learner can dig deep into the math later.

Good for beginners and those looking to understand the basics of ML

Important concepts are explained clearly and the academic support for those need clarifications on certain concepts are top of the line

I haven't seen the video lectures. But, one thing I liked very much about the course is the assignments are from scratch (Just like stanford CS231n). I felt its a very good start for the specialization.

Andrew Ngs courses are always very nice because he doesnt make assumptions about the students background and encourages a wide range of people with varying skillsets. Feel inspired by this his attitude!

I was already familiar with the subject matter in this course, but this was a perfect explanation of the material; with perfect notations. I believe I will use this course as reference on this subject.

It indeed helps me a lot by getting through all the fundamental mathematical understanding about forward / back propagation. Much better and the same issue in Udacity correspondently. Great job, Andrew.

If you have taken Andrew Ng's previous course "Machine Learning", this will be a very gentle warm-up to neural networks/deep learning. For beginners, this course is still friendly enough to begin with.

This is a fantastic course! Repetition is crucial when teaching, and Andrew does a great job of introducing and then reviewing a topic multiple times so that learners absorb and understand the content.

This course is really great to understand neural networks before starting to play with Tensorflow and/or PyTorch. Actually, everybody should follow this course before starting to use these 2 frameworks

Well structured course, learned a lot, thanks. Also enjoyed the "Heroes of Deep Learning" videos. Looking forward to completing the specialization. More challenging than I expected, and that's good.

As someone with a lot of prior knowledge, this course still did a great job building up intuition. My favorite in particular was backpropagation with computation graphs. That lesson was done very well.

Every concept was well explained in the course. I would highly suggest watching the optional videos because they give a better understanding of the mathematical equations and how neural netoworks work.

A great course. Learned backpropagation in great detail and this has set me up very well for the later courses of the specialization. Furthermore, it has given me some industry level knowledge as well.

I personally suggest this course to my friends since it give as a new look on machine learning through deep learning implementation . And also through the programming test we can learn more on that too

Course is well designed. Teacher delivered very well and i liked the good environment of appreciation by teacher. I think every teacher has his/her own way of teaching but Andrew ng is one of the best.
