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....

I highly appreciated the interviews at the end of some weeks. I am currently trying to transition from a research background in Systems/Computational Biology to work professionally in deep learning :)

Very good course to start Deep learning. But you need to have the basic idea first. I would suggest to do the Stanford Andrew Ng Machine Learning course first and then take this specialization courses

I like this course very much. I wanted to remember neural networks and learn deep neural networks. Andrew is a fantastic professor. The content and teaching skills are perfect. Thank you very much for this opportunity.

Before this course whenever I heard of neurons my mind jump to biology and make Neural Network too complex to think about. But now I'm clear about neurons in terms of computer science and know how they linked together.

I particularly liked the way the explanation of forward and back propagation was structured. It was repeated three times (logistic regression, two layer shallow network and the L-layer deep network), which was helpful.

Best course. The most good side of this course are the well defined assignments which are designed for a zero to hero approach ,even a unexperienced coder can solve them by reading the given explaination and comments.

Another great course by Andrew Ng, but I wished there was less spoon-feeding in the assignments. The verification of results sometimes revealed parts of the solution. Nevertheless, I've learnt so much from this course.

What I like about this course How I really I understood mathematics behind Neural networks, I was really struggling to understand mathematics behind back prop but in this course it makes more sense now

Thank you Andrew

The Course covers Foundations to ANN and Deep Learning. It was excellent. Helpful even for a beginner from scratch to design a NN. The Mentor lectures and the information shared is excellent.

Great.. Enjoyed the course

A best course to understand the fundamentals of the Neural Networks. Though you mightn't understand in the first two weeks but from week 3 you can get the better idea about the whole course including the previous weeks

This is really good course in understanding the theory behind Neural networks. Even the assignments are very good and experience the glimpse of neural nets by doing it. I recommend doing it if you are beginner like me.

hands down, amazing course! I love the fact that the course explains most mathematical details without diving too deep into them, even though my good mathematical background helped me so much to understand many things!

This course gives me the precise idea of how a deep neural network works. From now, I can implement a neural network from scratch and the mathematical equations inside a deep neural network are no more black box to me.

A wonderful journey to learn from scratch. Not only learned training Neural networks by training hyperparameters but also have a clear understanding of how it compares to Logistic regression. Thank you Andres and team.

I never found the online courses interesting until I enrolled in this course. The way the materials are organized and simplified implementation techniques helped me a lot to understand and successfully pass the course!

It had been many years since I touched linear algebra and optimization algorithms. This was a great course to come up to speed and refresh the math. Of course, NN and DL were well covered as well. Excellent instructor!

I'm 15, haven't taken calculus or linear algebra, and i still understood this class. Andrew Ng is great at explaining complex topics to a dummy like me! Love this course!! can't wait to use what i learned for projects.

Best course to start your Deep Learning journey.

Every concept is taught in the simplest way possible with equations and mathematical understanding that builds our base in Deep Learning.

I highly recommend this course.

Good intro to Neural Nets covering a lot of the foundations. I've found the structure of the code in some exercises to be relatively confusing (passing params dict), and would often obfuscate the point of the exercise.

The Course is very well documented, but the only thing which needs time is the back propagation derivative formula understandings. Overall this is way better and one of the best deep learning courses I have even taken.

This course is excellent, clear explications and practical exercises. Assignments are really guided step by step, so maybe it would be nice to have a final exercise where you have to think more about the implementation

This is an introductory and instructive course, it's helped me review the basis of neural networks. Besides, the interviews with some pioneers in deep learning are really inspiring, and that adds to fun of this course.

Thanks a lot for the course. It is very progressive, the short videos make it really easier for the learner to remember. Mathematical features are clearly detailled and recalled to keep it in mind between each session.

The course was really interesting.Helped a lot to deeply understand about neural network and its working.

The programming assignments really improved the confidence to work on neural networks and implement it correctly

Sometimes lecture vague and instructions unclear. Also rating broken, tried to give lower rating but glitched and wouldn't let me, only would let me give higher rating. I would actually rate this program three stars.

Excellent course! I just would recommend doing the Machine Learning course before starting this specialization. Although is it a bit old (from 2011) it explains all Neural Network concepts much more slowly and didatic.

It was a wonderful learning experience. After the videos, your learning speed and intuition improve incredibly in assignments. Andrew's smiling face and sentences increase my excitement to learn. This course is great.
