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.

Gives a great foundation of the basics and intuition behind neural networks. The assignments are not that hard if you are familiar with numpy. A great extra advantage is to observe how they organize code and their function to be abstract and reusable. A big take away!!

This is great to do after fast.ai deep learning course.

You know what is happening in a NN from fastai. Then this course into the details and maths of a NN. Which doesn't feel so scary because you already what he means, you are just expressing it in a different format!

Neural networks and deep learning have been a strange subject to me for a very long time. Now that I have finished this course, I'm not only excited but I'm planning to dig deeper, learn and understand more. This course is really a gentle introduction to deep learning.

Professor Andrew is one of the best teacher I have seen till now. The efforts he takes for beginners to cope up and equally helping the advanced learners. I am learning from Ng since his CS229 course. This specialisation is very helpful for current trends in ML and AI.

I really like this course, I just have a complain, because, sometimes the notes after some video was really bad, because I can't understand more easily the topic during the video, If you can edite these videos and put some box during the video it will be very helpful.

Excellent course , in every aspect be it material, teaching , assignments. Very thorough explanation about every major concepts as well as the minor concepts necessary to know the actual working of the algorithms. Thank you Andrew ng for being such a great instructor.

It's a very wholesome course to understand the inner functioning and actual computations for the backpropagation. Very much advisable even though you know how to implement models, it will help you to understand the things better and conceptualize the thoughts forever.

I could achieve a simple deep neural network by myself and I deeply understand the could achieve a neural network by myself and I deeply understand the basic theory of neural network. I also excited about apply the neural network to classify something in my real life.

The course is awesome. It provides very useful insights into how does deep learning models work. It provides both the math aspect as well as the hands on aspect of deep learning. I would recommend this courser to anyone who wants to demystify the word "Deep Learning".

This the best course by far. The short tutorials were the best part of the course, as it never bored me while watching them,It's short and effective. It was really fun solving the assignments. I can now understand deep learning concepts with ability to solve problems.

Andrew Ng sir you are such a perfect and simplified personality. Sir, I love this course. The teaching style and pattern is amazing; even complicated topics like deep neural networks become easy for me. Thank you so much, sir for this.

See you back in the next course.

This course is well designed and very helpful for absolute beginners for starting their career in Deep learning and Neural networks. I appreciate the efforts of instructors and mentors for helping me during any doubts. Thank you deeplearning.ai community and coursera.

Very clear, engaging, easy to follow. An excellent introduction. Also, the coding style is 5-stars: it strongly stresses good factoring (defining many small, easily testable functions which each execute one task well, and combine them to get a working, bug-free code).

This course is one of the perfect courses on machine learning available over the internet. It has the perfect balance of amount of video lectures, reading materials and practice problems. Hence, this never bore you down by just including reading materials or lectures.

Another Wonderful course. And I am looking forward to the rest of the courses. If there is any suggestion, that i can give is to provide more challenging programming exercises. Also include discussion on hardware, GPU, CPU, and software and frameworks like Tensorflow.

Andrew Ng made the course really simple to understand. But I would add that before doing this course, it is better to do some courses or tutorials on Linear Algebra, Logistic Regression and Gradient Descent so that you have a good foundation to understand this course.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Lab feedback within minutes is pretty cool. Using vectorization for forward and back propagation, deep nets (L), and simpler non-linear activation functions, e.g., relu, is quite a change from my earlier exposure to neural nets in 2003.

From these courses, I've learn lots of things such as logistic learning model, L layer nerual netword, and backpropagation and so on.However, I still have a few confusions in backpro and have little confidence in programming. Anyway it's fine, I very love the courses!

I haven't knew anything about neural networks before. This course opened my eyes to machine learning with excellent examples in Python. Mathematical knowledge from before is not important to finish this course and to learn intuitively how to work with neural networks.

Andrew Ng is a great lecturer. He makes neural networks seems easy for new learners. However, without his detailed instructions for each assignment, this course can be much harder. Anyway, I think taking this class is the fastest way for you to get into deep learning.

This is a great course on deep learning. The instructions are very detailed and clear, so you not only gain the intuition about NN, but also know the detailed technics. The programming assignment really helps understanding how the backward propagation actually works.

This was the first course about narrow artificial intelligence,The first part was about constructing a neural network that predicts results, The programming assignments was very helpful to make your own results and get a better idea of the artificial neural networks.

Great course for beginners, not only did I learned about neural networks, but also python on the way. I was used to Matlab and C++, and used automated programs for machine learning a couple of times, but I always wanted to do it by myself. I really liked this course.

The course is well organized, with an outstanding balance between theory and practice. The best part is probably the awesome laboratories, where you can practice NN coding. Some solutions are not easy but I believe it worth the effort. Totally recommend this module.

The course was quite tense. Videos by Dr. Andrew are short and straight to the point. Hours of revision and research in maths needs to be done after the videos. This is only if you are unfamiliar with Linear Algebra. Learnt a lot from this. Will recommend this 100%😊
