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 well structured course. truly enjoyed it and loved the materials. some portion of the mathematics was too much and I couldn't convince myself spending more time understanding the whole detail but overall I think it was necessary to have a deeper understanding. looking forward for the next courses!

The instructor expressed clearly the notation that is to be used and that is half the battle to being able to think about and manipulate neural networks. Also the programming assignment were well structured to build confidence. The Jupyter Notebooks used for the programming assignments were a marvel.

It was a very good introduction to deep learning and neural networks. Concepts were explained very well and the assignments made it much easier to understand and apply the formulas. I really enjoyed this course and I believe that it helped me to build a good foundation for advanced topics in the field.

It was such a great way of learning about the Neural Network. I appreciate the professor and the entire Coursera team for such an amazing course. This course entirely changed my perception towards what machine learning, deep learning towards is towards more confidence and easiness. Thank you, Coursera.

If you are always perplexed by the concepts of neural networks, what is weight update, how they are so accurate in solving some very complex problems, or how different algorithms play an important part in ML world, this is the best course to start your learning.

I promise you won't be disappointed!! :-)

So Great a course! With the help of this,I have the chance to step into the deep learning! And learning lots of knowledge such as Shallow neural networks , the basics of neural networks , deep learning and deep neural networks!All of them are extremely important for the mastering of AI.Thank you all!

This was a very informative course. It gives a very clear and conceptual foundation for Machine learning. It does not focus on the coding part of machine learning. Instead it focusses on helping the learners understand the concepts. This is a very good start for anyone looking to learn Machine learning

Andrew NG est un formidable tuteur, les vidéos de cours sont extrêmement bien faites, les notions bien expliquées, on les comprend réellement. La seule remarque que j'aurais est que les assignements sont trop pré-mâchés et peuvent être réalisés sans réellement comprendre ce que l'on fait, c'est dommage

Its a great experience always with Andrew's courses. This course gives a complete insight of how to proceed with simple mathematical operation of NN and then slowly improving on other things to achieve better accuracy. Its worth spending time listening each word of Andrew and trying it in the exercise.

GREAT course! Andrew elaborated the neural network for Deep Learning in an extremely clear and well-organized way! Follow his guidance and instructions, not only I comprehended the intricacies of deep learning, but also a full-fledged neural network can be implemented from scratch by myself in Python!

Very well-structured, and well-thought out: the attention to the consistency of the notation (barring one homework programming assignment) helps make the algorithm clear. The guided assignments show the students good practice in modularity and optimization using vectorization and caching (memoization).

Very good approach to teaching such complex topics as deep neural networks. I got much more knowledge and tips for deep learning than through other courses and self-education. I will definitely recommend this course and other deep learning courses to my colleagues and friends. Thanks Andrew! Great job!

I'm not going to say anything different than anybody had said in the reviews,Andrew is simply the best.But I don't think you can understand the contents in this course without basic High school Calculus and Matrix understanding,even if Andrew teaches the basic,I feel it's necessary to know them before.

This course is probably the best course for the people who want to start learning Neural Networks and Deep Learning. The course was well planned and explained. The conversion of math to code was explained very well. I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to start learning Neural Networks.

As a Product Manager, this course helped me understand key concepts that I can take to my engineering and data science teams and start prototyping products and features based on Deep Learning. The exercises are super fun, really well done and the right amount of challenge! I would highly recommend it!

I'm very grateful that you let me do this course by approving my financial aid application. thanks!

So about the course, This course has all those things which is needed for a student to enter a field of deep learning. I will strongly recommend this course to everyone who want to spark in data science.

Course content is very well organized and very complex content is explained systematically with good examples which lead to good understanding of concept. Programming assignments are created in a very supporting way that the exercises can be completed with assistance provided with detailed description

Thank you Prof Andrew Ng for sharing your knowledge and experience among learners from all parts of the world. There is no better person than you to teach such advanced courses making them so easy and interesting to learn.

•Very structured course

•Meticulously designed assignments

Highly recommended!!

Great material, I liked it a lot because I didn't need more background knowledge than some calculus and a little experience with Python. I also found the materials very complete and organized. Another great addition were Andrew's interviews "Heroes of Deep Learning", very motivatinal and interesting.

This course help me understand the concept of deep learning and neural network .

After completing this course , I feel confident about neural network.

It also help me to learn two or more layers deep neural network.

I want to thanks Mr. Andrew and deeplearning.ai for this great course on deep learning.

if you want to learn neural network from scratch with proper mathematics behind, then you are in correct place. As every one andrew ng is considered as best faculty for teaching neural network. Now a days also this kind of teaching lacks in many university. Looking forward to complete rest of course

Outstanding! Really gives an in-depth overview of the intuitions behind deep neural networks! Deep Learning is less of "black magic" to me now!

Thank you Andrew Ng for this carefully constructed course, you managed to make the "extremely complex" into something much easier to understand and replicate.

I do really thankfully appreciate for the basic fundaments of deep learning. Sometimes as deep learning user, we use only template toolbox like Pytorch or TensorFlow. But, with this fundaments as practioners we could explore and modfiy our models with taylor made solutions for our specified problems

Great overview of ML and Deep Networks. Andrew is a great teacher and very sensitive about presenting the material in an understandable way. The hardest part, in my opinion, is keeping the notation straight. If you know matrix algebra and have a novice amount of coding experience then you'll be fine.

I find this course very useful and I am learning quite fast. I still feel like a freshman as a lot of python code in the program assignments is still taken care of by the course creators. Any good references for learning how to import own data sets, cleaning up data sets etc... would be very helpful!
