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.

The course was good but there were multiple mistakes in the final programming assignment. These mistakes were reported in the forums over 4 months ago and have not been addressed.

I find that the programming assignments have a LOT of copy pasta. Also, wasn't enthused to hear that we are using an out of data framework.

Very poor explanations, not correlated with the quitz and exercises. Missing more theoretical material in pdf with some more explanations.

From my point of view this course deserves a bit more time. Too much material rushed through in too little time.

The notebooks of this class are terrible. They should receive more attention so you actually learn something.

here is a bug in Week1's programming assignment,Gradient Checking ("Exercise 3 - gradient_check" and "Exercise 4 - gradient_check_n")

the problem is that I search everywhere in forum provided by the course and still cant find a solution,none of course's administrator or man in charge provided a solution,instead of they told you over and over again"make your question on Deeplearning.AI",which is their community forum

I just ask for a solution ok so i can fix this assignment and pass

The course was updated half way through, we were automatically rolled on to the updated version and progress already made on the course was reset from under our feet. We had to retake previously completed and passed content, wasting much time. It also did not help that the website reported the course content we had to retake as complete in some areas of the site and not others.

Coursera refuses to issue the specialisation certificate even though I spent over 300 euros and completed all courses. If I was told this beforehand, I would not spend anything on the course. The customer support team has not been helpful.
