About the Course
Introduction to Deep Learning provides a rigorous, concept-driven introduction to the models that power modern AI systems—from image recognition to large language models. You’ll build neural networks from first principles, understanding how forward passes, loss functions, and backpropagation enable learning. As the course progresses, you’ll train and regularize deep models, design convolutional networks for vision, model sequences with RNNs, LSTMs, and attention, and apply transformer-based architectures such as BERT, GPT, and Vision Transformers. You will also look at the latest trends in contrastive learning and CLIP. By combining mathematical foundations with practical application, this course equips you to understand, train, and use deep learning models with confidence.
This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Masters of Science in Computer Science (MS-CS), Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MS-AI), and Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degrees offered on the Coursera platform. These fully accredited graduate degrees offer targeted courses, short 8-week sessions, and pay-as-you-go tuition. Admission is based on performance in three preliminary courses, not academic history. CU degrees on Coursera are ideal for recent graduates or working professionals. Learn more:

Very good videos and interesting lectures. Reasonable assignments and well-structured labs, autograders on labs are a little finicky and should be improved but that is expected with newly-minted courses, especially on such complex subjects. Well done, Dr. Acuna :)
