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.

some topics are explained in more of intution based way, rather than solid prof

but I don,t think its needed to implement in most real world situations.

this course will help you identify and tune all of your hyperparameters. It also gives an introduction to tensorflow that will at least get you started.

Again a very good course in the deep learning specialization. This one was a bit more daunting in the amount of math but Andrew Ng helps you through it!

The best deep learning specialization ever with simple and clear explanation. The assignments are directly applied real world machine learning problems.

This is a great course in the Deeplearning sequel. It requires a lot of effort to complete, but the knowledge that you gain is big.

Thank you Andrew Ng!

Very good course, like it. It gave me lot of understanding of what NN is and some background over the hyper params.

I would expect more sessions with TF

I think this course is the most import one in the specialization because it gathers a lot of practical tips and tricks to improve deep learning models.

This course taught me how to improve my models instead of just learning about deep learning. In fact, in some ways, this is the more important course.

very instructive. The only negative point, is that the introduction to Tensorflow is very light and quick. I hope to see more during the next classes
