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....

Fantastic introduction to deep NNs starting from the shallow case of logistic regression and generalizing across multiple layers. The material is very well structured and Dr. Ng is an amazing teacher.

Learned a ton in this course! I recommend going through the material slowly and even going back through the lectures a second time. It is a lot to digest, but I loved that I was successfully able to build a simple (and working) deep neural network by the end of the course!

Awesome Course on Neural Networks and Deep Learning.

Andrew NG is an outstanding communicator, and through his clear explanations and exercises I was able to understand the basics of Neural Networks and Deep Learning beyond what I had ever been able to previously.

Thank You!

very excellent tutorials and detailed explanations by Andrew, I am very grateful toward the team of this course for providing such a nice syllabus. The programming assignments are brilliant, these will helps me in future to build my own models to solve real-world-problems.

it was very good course, initially I thought its an easy course, but by the end I realized it was very tough course but thanks to Andrew's teaching style, I could understand everything. BTW I have directly started with deep learning, without knowing about machine learning.

This course is full of learning no doubt. If one has very basic in Neural Network formulation and practice in Python Programming with Linear Algebra then he/she could enjoy more. This course has highly focused on brain-storming and recent trends in technology and industry.

Excellent balance between mathematical rigour, practical application and intuition in this course, all while explaining this complex topic in such a simple manner. Learnt a lot from this course. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to start out with deep learning.

The teacher is very clear, also for non-native English speakers. His lessons are simple to follow, and he's able to explain complex concepts in a very easy and understandable way. Thank you very much for the great course! I will complete the entire Specialization for sure!

I really appreciate how this course reinforces/reviews a lot of of the concepts from Andrews original ML course while remaining relevant and showing the more updated approaches to the same concepts. I feel much more prepared to take what I've learned and start applying it.

Great course: very well presented lectures and assignments.. the course designers really did well at putting themselves in the shoes of someone who doesn't know all this stuff already. A very enjoyable course and I'm now looking forward to the second course in the series!

Very good course to learn the complicated forward prop/back prop algo behind neural nets. Does a great job explaining the concepts without needing you to know all the calculus/matrix algebra/linear algebra. As always, Andrew Ng is exceptional in his delivery of the course.

As a first year computing student with strong foundation in Python, this course helped me begin my own journey into Deep Learning and Neural Networks and understand the maths as well as the algorithms fundamentally. I look forward to continuing this specialization. Cheers!

The course content as well the detailed explanation from Andrew Ng was really helpful to get the basics of Deep learning and implementing using the notebooks taught me the inner working of the methods. Really awesome course for understanding the underlying structure of DL.

Sehr gut erklärt. Klasse strukturiert und übersichtlich erläutert. Die Quiz-Fragen werden in den Videos bestens erläutert, somit ist nach gründlichen ansehen und verstehen der Videos das Quiz sehr gut zu schaffen. Die Programmieraufgaben entsprechen dem behandelten Wissen.

andrew ng has explained all the concepts so beautifully. loved it !!! he gives mathematical explanations as well as intuitions which helps you create mental pictures in your head which in turn results in better understanding. Thank you coursera and Andrew NG so much !!! :D

Un curso recomendado, si lo que quieres es comenzar en deep learning este curso es mas que excelente, el instructor es muy bueno. Es fácil de entender las lecciones, como mencione un curso para principiantes y para todos aquellos que quieran reforzar conocimientos básicos.

Andrew Ng is amazing in breaking down complex mathematical concepts for an average person to understand. I have experience with DNN however simply loved the focus on building foundations for the participant rather than jumping straight into coding in common DNN frameworks.

Very good videos, the programming part felt too light (the “3 hour” exercises are too guided, especially the week 4 ones). Would be a 4.7 for me; 5 stars is OK considering it's for a general audience. It looks made with great care, and I liked the end-of-week interviews.

Very good course for beginners in Deep learning. I was not exactly a beginner here, but after watching 100s of youtube videos, I was very confused over a lot of things. This course certainly explained those in a very structured and systematic manner. 10/10 would recommend

absolutely great course...anyone who wants to start career on machine learning....must take this course...in this 1st out of 5 courses we can learn coding of ML without predefined libraries like keras and tensorflow......which is very important to know the maths behind it

Got a few submission problems here in the last programming assignment, the cat vs non cat problem. Restarting the kernel and running all cells again did the trick, I feel its a problem in randomization resulting in different weights. Luckily, I just had to restart it once

I really loved all the videos — they were well explained, informative and engaging. The assignments were really hands on and allowed me to gain better understanding of what was taught. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in neural networks and deep learning

Neural Nets are basically mathematics, people have glorified it. The explanations by Prof.Andrew is impeccable. I learned a lot from this course about deep learning. I am indebted to Coursera for providing the financial aid to get started with the cutting edge technology!

This course is outstandingly resourceful as the videos conducted by Andrew Sir clears the basic concepts used in making a neural network. Along with this, the programming assignments of this course also provide in-depth knowledge about the building of the neural networks.
