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 .

A course with a good pace, and interesting exercises. The lectures are well organized and I could understand the concepts quickly.I would have expected some more slides shared with the students, but this is a minor drawback.

I really liked the Week 4. It would have been great to continue the project in week 4 in the following courses until you get something like a keras library (a simpler version, of course, without GPU, but with similar calls).

Basics but well done. Good speed to go through the materials and the exercises are pre-prepared very well. The exercises can be done without much knowledge of Python, all that is required is paying attention to the lectures.

Good course. As always, Andrew is an amazing teacher and finds the best ways to explain any topic. I really enjoyed this course as it is a great opportunity to begin learning about NNs from the foundations of how they work.

Amazing course! I really loved everything about it; if this is your first approach to DL, definitely this will help you a lot. The only thing I didn't like at all was the fact that lots of derivative processes were omitted.

Lectures are great. But the assignments contain too many hints/comment and therefore oversimplified - I did no have to think hard. Just simple following the guidelines helps to complete the tasks without deep investigation.

the course is very detailed, intuitive, I am Andrew's fan since a very last few years I've known him for his contribution and determination in machine learning world along with heroes of AI that he interviews in this course

Although I had previous experience working with NN, this course has helped me a lot to understand the maths behind a neural network. Andrew NG is an excellent teacher and he knowns how to explain hard things in an easy way.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The complex theory has been explained in simple language. I now understood the basics building blocks of Deep learning and NN. I am looking forward to the next course in this specialization

Great course to learn about Neural Networks and Deep learning. The instructor leads you well through the topics and the assignments are well structured to apply the knowledge that one should acquire from the video lectures.

One of the best courses on deep learning available on the internet with bare minimum prerequisites. Andrew Ng made deep leaning so much easy to understand. I would highly recommend to all my fellow data scientist aspirants.

The course helped me a lot to better understand the intuition of neural networks and help me build some neural networks from scratch. I would definitely recommend this course if any one ask me for guidance in Deep Learning.

I appreciate how Dr. Andrew makes the neural network concept so easy.

The problem I have with the courses is that the answer is right there and you don't need to make an effort to do the exercises.

But overall, a great course

One of the best course on coursera or any where else..explaining deep learning concept at its core while repetitive practicing of key and most significant concept in deep learning with code help me to understand the basics.

I really enjoyed the videos, assignments and the quizzes. They were at the right level for first time coders. I'd have appreciated a few optional exercises of a slightly higher difficulty level - especially the coding part.

Good introduction to neural networks. If you already have some experience you can still do this course and learn some new insights. I would definitely recommend this to other people, with or without mathematical background.

Curso muito bom, bem didático. Requer um pouco de conhecimento anterior em python para conseguir compreender todo o conteúdo. Algum conhecimento em cálculo e estatística é desejável, mas se não os tiver também dá pra levar.

I would suggest to take this course if you are looking to get into Deep learning. The best part of this course are the assignments - you are walked through each step with brilliant explanation of what is being done and why.

I enjoyed the course very much. Assignments are also very exciting, especially because I could see the difference between neural network based learning and that using logistic regression. Also got to learn coding in Python.

Much better than going over books/blogs since the course requires you to implement a simple neural network from scratch. Hands-on is definitely the way to go when learning basics of relatively complicated prediction models.

The course progresses at a steady rate and programming assignments complement the course work.

If you have taken ML by Andrew Ng the transition is smooth and makes the course easier.

Overall a good start to the specialisation
