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....

Very informative course by Andrew Ng and team.Teaches everything from the basics and helps you understand difficult topics (as i thought before taking this course) such as Deep Neural Networks easily.

Excellent course. I learnt to establish a deep network from scratch. This is a good learning method to have a deep understanding of the principle of DNNs. This also helps us to know how to use high level tools such as tensorflow and pytorch.

I really enjoyed this excellent course. This introduction to deep learning is very well-structured with practicing developing modular Python NN code by reusing building blocks. Prof. Andrew Ng teaching style is second to none. Many thanks!

Best Course on Neural Networks, the topics are structured so well, it's possible to understand and implement a neural network from scratch during a weekend!! Andrew doesn't drown you in lots of unnecessary details and focuses on the essence.

I did the Machine Learning Spec back in 2018 and all the coding parts were with MatLab... it's great that now everything is done with Python. The content of the course is clear and detailed at the same time. Great course as usual! Thanks :)

A fantastic introduction to Deep Learning. The instructor does a great job at introducing the concepts little by little, letting you implement the main concepts of deep learning, while not throwing you into the entire code set from scratch.

I was into machine learning and I didn't understood well how a neural network worked and what were the differences between NN and ML, this course opened my eyes and now I feel confident about how an L-layer Neural Network works from behind.

I never thought I could build a deep NN ground up without the help of built-in libraries. Surely helped my intuition and understanding the key concepts really well. Thanks a lot Andrew for explaining things with so much attention to detail.

This course gives you the understanding of the frameworks for Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and shows the disadvantages of using them. The course does this by giving a perspective the DNN's do a good job, but they have some downfalls as well.

This is an excellent course with a good balance between theory, examples, and assignments. I'm very new to this field, but I feel more equipped now to understand some of the jargon and ideas behind deep learning. Thank you, Andrew and team!

Professor Andrew Ng is a legend! I understood Forward and Backward propagation well now.

There is a lot of drama out there - linking Neural Nets with Brain - This is really not appropriate and Professor clearly explained the concepts. Thanks

Learning how to train and test a simple neural network in python can be done using Tensorflow, Keras, etc. But the fact that in this course we learnt this using pure python was, in my opinion, the best part of the course. Thanks, everybody!

Andrew is a really awesome teacher that walks you through all the details of the theories. He also provides heaps of intuitions to help you understand the model from an easy angle. Don't be intimidated by the math and start this course now!

Very good course to get started using deep learning and remember this course is just to give an understanding of a simple deep neural network which is essential and all the assignments are practical and you can start using them in real life

I'd highly recommend this or the vanilla ML course with Andrew Ng. There is a bit of a math hump to get through before it all starts to make sense. I'd recommend repeating the math in the lectures until the each variable becomes 2nd nature.

Professor Andrew Ng is Awesome person. I never loss my interest in the course. This course is very well ordered. I never find any of the assignment too difficult after watching the lecture videos. I really thank him for making this course.

Explains well the basic concepts of neural network and deep learning. Since the assignments' codes provide already a clear data set, you won't get to learn how to set up your train set, test set, etc which I personally think is fundamental.

Thanks to all authors for the course! The material is easy to understand even without any serious skills. After the course I got very good understanding of Deep Learning basics and I'm loking forward for the next course to get more details.

Intuitive and rewarding introduction to Neural Networks. Leaves you with huge appetite for the next 4 courses. Many thanks to Professor Ng and his team for putting this together!

Thanks Coursera for making this available, keep the good work!

Amazing job guys! keep that spirit! This course is recommended for anybody, even those already working in deep learning will find something interesting, success hides in little things, and with this course you would cover ALL those things.

Andrew is a great lecturer, as he is clearly very experience in this field and his enthusiasm for the subject is contagious. The exercises were both fun and highly educational, if perhaps a bit on the easier side. All in all a great course.

A very good introduction to neural networks and deep learning. It's approachable, yet has enough depth to provide an intuitive understanding of how neural networks are constructed, function, and how they fit into the task of deep learning.

Course is very well organized. Assignments are created in a way that the whole theory part is covered. So no need to memorize theory by hard. Assignments allow to understand the concepts very clearly. Thank you for conducting this course.

The course does a great job at explaining all of the details! I took the Machine Learning course from 2011 and I had no idea how the derivatives worked as I haven't taken calculus yet but this course makes it so much easier to understand!

This course gives state-of-the-art technique and intuition on deep networks. Thanks a lot for the clear explanation and intuitive slides. The programming part was very easy compared to Machine Learning course but gave hands-on experience.
