About the Course

In the second course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will open the deep learning black box to understand the processes that drive performance and generate good results systematically. By the end, you will learn the best practices to train and develop test sets and analyze bias/variance for building deep learning applications; be able to use standard neural network techniques such as initialization, L2 and dropout regularization, hyperparameter tuning, batch normalization, and gradient checking; implement and apply a variety of optimization algorithms, such as mini-batch gradient descent, Momentum, RMSprop and Adam, and check for their convergence; and implement a neural network in TensorFlow. 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 really enjoyed this course. Many details are given here that are crucial to gain experience and tips on things that looks easy at first sight but are important for a faster ML project implementation

Thank you Andrew!! I know start to use Tensorflow, however, this tool is not well for a research goal. Maybe, pytorch could be considered in the future!! And let us know how to use pytorch in Windows.

I think a bit more hands on teaching would be better for this course and also if you could mention resources it would be better.

Bastante bueno, explica de manera simple y práctica los distintos métodos para acelerar el aprendizaje de las redes neuronales.

The last assignment has no clear instructions on how to use the functions and has error which doesn't initazlie the parameters

Very interesting course. But a bit fast I would say. Sometimes I didn't feel the programming assignments were that challenging.

The course was great overall, but I wish we had more involvement in the set up of the programs in the programming assingments.

It would've been much easier if the graded functions of the tensorflow practice assignment would've been explained separately.

Nice basics that help understand the fundamentals. The last part of the course should be upgraded to Tensorflow 2.0 already...

Again awesome explaining by Andrew, although I feel Batch Normalization should be a bit stressed upon and explained in detail.

Well detailed course..

Tensorflow is very basic and it could have been improved if one can visualize graphs too in tensorboard

Explains neural nets like a tutorial more than a formal course. Overall pretty insightful. Also, instructor can speak louder.

Great course!! The only improvements I'd suggest is more difficult assignments (less guided) and more written documentation.

Maybe i was doing it wrong but the last tensorflow exercice add me buggin. Tried everything and it didn't worked as expected

Some of the best intuitions behind Neural Networks can be provided by none other than Andrew Ng and this course proves that!

Very good - wouldve been more effective if included the questions part way through the videos as previous courses have done.

Es necesario que actualicen los notebook por ejemplo el de TensoFlow ya que esos códigos no corren bien con la nueva versión

This course was a little bored for me. I already knew a little bit about hypertuning so I felt that the course moved slowly.

Provides a good code skeleton to build a neural network, but would unlikely have one poised to do improvements on their own.

Very good course, but I would expect some hands on hyperparameter tuning (using maybe an additional programming assignment)

Está bueno el curso pero quizás lo más interesante sea el uso de TensorFlow al final para que todo empiece a tener sentido.

Some assignments, even though I get the same result as the output given, it get marked as wrong... Please try to rectify it

Very good course from the excellent Andrew Ng.

Some typos and some glitches in the video, hopefully it will improve in time.

Good pace

Only drawback is that some of the safe checks are wrong in the programming assignments, even with the right seeds.

It is definitely very informative, but I wish the lectures would be more in depth in regards to the derivation and proofs.

Really love the course, the quizes and programming assignments. But not 5 stars cause the audio quality is extremely poor.

Very good course. It would be 5 stars if it had questions on each video and a bit more difficult programming excercises.
