Neural Networks and Deep Learning

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.

This is a very good course for people who want to get started with neural networks. Andrew did a great job explaining the math behind the scenes. Assignments are well-designed too. Highly recommended.

The best and simplest neural network course i have come across. Andrew Ng makes the mathematical concepts subtle and understandle. Neural network for me is no longer a black box.Thank you Andrew Ng

I gained a foot hold of Neural networks now. I believe that further taking the specialization could strengthen it. Thanks a lot for a great teaching experience. I was able to finish it in 10 days.

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

Amazing course, the lecturer breaks makes it very simple and quizzes, assignments were very helpful to ensure your understanding of the content. Hope for future learners you provide code model-answers

I understand forward and backward propagation much better - having done it a lot in the notebooks multiple times. And I have better knowledge of which activation functions to use and when. Thank-you!

Although problems sets are too easy and over simplified, the course has good content, I learned a lot and I have a better intuition now on how NNs work. Best: - Andrew's classes.Worst:- Problem sets

T​he notation and the description of the course materials are way more comprehensible than that of the ML course. I deeply appreciate all the efforts made so that this course could be presented to us.

Lot of courses teach theory and uses python in built libraries. This is the only course learners are encourage to built the algorithm from scratch to gain more understanding of things under the hood.
