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 .

Fun course...it makes sense for it to be the first course.

Overall I really enjoyed the series, but I have to say the Professor Ng's Stanford course made a world of difference. I recommend it for anyone looking to learn or go deeper in ML.

I really liked this course. Good explanation in videos, but the most of material i learned during practice in jupiternotebook. Great program assignments, there are a lot of explanations what each part of code does, this helps a lot. Thanks

An exceptionally well organized course which never loses its interest even for a single moment. I am totally a fan of Andre NG and love his brevity and clarity which he express-fully uses to make the course stimulating. Thank you coursera.

Great course which gives me an in-depth understanding of deep neural networks and deep learning processes. The course is not hard, but very informative and easy to understand. The "Heroes in machine learning" interviews are very inspiring.

This course is really valuable! Although I got few Deep Learning knowledge before taking this course, the thorough explanation by Andrew and the exercises have helped me more familiar with the implementation details. Strongly recommend it!

Great step by step instructions, the videos can be on the dry side at times, but taught very concisely, and I found the programming exercises very informative, not too frustrating or too easy (for someone who isn't familiar with the topic)

Though a little heavy on mathematics, the course materials helped me understand the basic concepts well. The interviews with the Heros were very motivating and encourages research in AI. Thank you very much, Andew Ng and your team members

A great way to dive into Deep Learning. The course not difficult and it gives a great introduction as to how neural networks work. If you're like me and like to understand the theory before learning any framework I definitely recommend it.

This is a good introduction of deep learning. I can understand what is deep learning. The good point is that the instructor explains the procedure of deep learning by using mathematical language. This leads to a clear understanding for me.

Really cool series of lectures, especially explanations and implementation guidelines on backpropagation and gradient descent method. Wish more and more courses been added on more recent neural networks, such as GAN, Transformers, and etc.

Assignments really helped me to get into the nitty gritty of the internal deep learning layers . How the nodes , activation functions , Weights and biases , forward & backward propagation works together to achieve the desired result .

There are a lot of deep learning videos on the internet, but to really learn how to build one is not easy. I like the arrangement of the materials and the step-by-step Jupyter homework. These are really helpful for learning implementation.

Coming from Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course, I already knew the superb quality of his lectures. Once again, this course exceeded my expectations. It is outstanding and a must if you want to learn the "hows" and "whys" of Deep Learning.

Great course! Good idea to break down the complexity of NeuralNets implementation into meaningful building blocks to see how they fit together. Also, the exercise of implementing Regression with a Neural Net mind help connecting concepts.

Extremely good course. Prof. Ng takes you from the very basics to quite advanced concepts in a very logical and easy to understand set of steps. He is a great teacher!

It does help a lof if you are familiar with python and especially numpy.

thank you for providing us with this very high quality course

if you want to learn deep learning , you should start here

I suggest to complete the first three weeks of machine learning course for same instructor before starting this course

Andrew is a great professor! I love the decent notations, step-by-step derivation of formulas and very clear instruction on implementing the core stuff of neural network and the professor's comments on stuffs. A great course for beginners.

A very clear and profound introduction on how to build up a deep neural network via step-by-step guide on the python programming. The theoretical explanation behind the DNN model is provided with a simple and easy to understand fashion.

the course according to teaching and for understanding is very good.

only one point to mention that after completing this module i dont feel free to write code from scratch

I felt that programming exercises in this part was very easy to do.

A great course with summarized content as possible as it can be and besides containing all that is necessary to learn to be able to build a Neural Network. Thanks to Andrew and all the people working in the deeplearning.ai ^^

Best regards.

Great course for understanding the fundamentals of how neural networks work and their possible applications. I was expecting the coding to be harder, but the assigments give you enough information to figure out the solutions. Recommended.
