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 .

Difficult subject taught in an extremely easy and interesting approach. Programming assignments are created in a very organized manner so that learners can understand many underlying concepts easily and gradually increase their learning rate.

Incredible course, as usual when Andrew Nag. is the teacher! Everything so clear, good math background to understand how it all works instead of just applying, and funny! I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in neural networks.

The way the course is structured and how Andrew teachs are amazing, you really can combine teory and practice to learning about neural network and deep learning. For those of you that want to go deep in this subject, this course is mandatory.

Great course, really accessible. All you need is a basic understanding of coding concepts and machine learning (at its base), and the course will lead you through everything.

Great balance between theoretical background and coding assignments.

This tutorial is really very good. Each concept has been explained clearly. And it is very important to do the assignment, which can help us to understand the course. I strongly recommend those who are interested in AI to addend this course .

The course provides more detailed knowledge about Neural network , all the quiz and assignments are more challenging than in ML specialization, and i love it! I wish it would have more optional reading articles to understand the math behind!

Good course to start with basic concepts of neural network and deep neural networks. It gives exhaustive exercises and questions to cross-check the concept learns. Thank you very much for financial aid and designing such a well paced course.

Brilliant! If one were to sincerely work through the derivations of both forward propagation and backward propagation as elucidated by Professor Andrew Ng in the class, one does come away with a good sense of what's happening under the hood.

The best course on Coursera. Dr.Ng is amazing, and I want to learn more from him. People who are interested in deep learning should take this course, very clear and accurate explanation about every theory and detail. Love the course so much!

Very good course. It goes through all the essential elements about Deep Learning with a good guidance and makes easy to understand all the process. Of course, having such an extense and detailed practical part is a key feature of the course.

A brief and precise intro to deep learning , If you want more of concept than programming then this is the best course to go for. Andrew as always keeps rocking with a stunning course hoping to go for the second course of this specialization

This course has helped me clear a lot of misconceptions about neural networks and taught me a lot about deep learning and I am really thankful to Andrew for the same. I am more than excited to go for the next course under the specialization.

Great Course!!! I was able to complete in 1 week while still on free trial. I took a lot of handwritten notes and i will keep them with me as long as I'm working in this field. Thank you so much to the people at coursera and deeplearning.ai.

The course has sufficient workload to keep a novice programmer (like me) engaged. It's not too dense and not too light. The mentors are active in the discussion forum (which is a key point) and they help you get through the course with ease.

Very good introduction and foundation for Deep Learning.

The programming exercises are too easy in my opinion, because you only have to fill in some lines.

The focus of this course is not programming. It's more about how Neural Networks works.

This course is really good for the people who wants to learn deep learning from basic.

This really helped me to get a start in deep learning.All the excercise are very well designed and easy to understand and implement.

thanks for this course

I like Andrew Ng's teaching style! I learned a lot from his lectures. The most precious thing is that he is willing to share what he has known with people all over the world. I wish his autonomous car business in Texas to be a great success!

Great course, Andrew Ng is just the best teacher for NN and machine learning. Assignments and quiz too easy, probably i will struggle on the implementing it on my own. But is common to MOOC so definitely the best deep learning MOOC out there

Excellent introduction to Deep Learning. Andrew's didactic approach allows everyone to get to know the topic. Just two ideas how to improve this course: I would find it helpful if I could download lecture slides and access written summaries.

Great introduction to Neural Networks with well balanced theory and practice. Although quite complex in places (i.e. back-propagation derivatives) it is well explained and thoughtfully laid out to build on the concepts learnt. Great course!

Excellent course. I learnt to establish a deep network from scratch. This is a good learning method to have a deep understanding of the principle of DNNs. This also helps us to know how to use high level tools such as tensorflow and pytorch.

I really enjoyed this excellent course. This introduction to deep learning is very well-structured with practicing developing modular Python NN code by reusing building blocks. Prof. Andrew Ng teaching style is second to none. Many thanks!

Best Course on Neural Networks, the topics are structured so well, it's possible to understand and implement a neural network from scratch during a weekend!! Andrew doesn't drown you in lots of unnecessary details and focuses on the essence.
