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....

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.

I have learnt a lot of tricks with numpy and I believe I have a better understanding of what a NN does. Now it does not look like a black box anymore. I look forward to see what's in the next courses!

Great course! Pretty dense for a first course - I'm taking a break and studying what I just learned. Then I'll go to the second course. This is what you need if you want to do deep learning from scratch.

Andrew is great at explaining complex ideas and you can tell thoroughly enjoys what he is doing and teaching. It's been years since I've used Linear Algebra, so I had some refreshing to do, which was fun!

The most basic but difficult principles are very easy to understand. Through this lecture, I was able to rebuild my knowledge that I had been vaguely aware of. Thank you again for Coursera's financial aid.

Excellent course, great programming assignments. The only difficulty i came across was my unfamiliarity with the python programming language which made the assignments more challenging and rewarding. Great

I think it would have been better to have advanced-beginner notebooks. Notebooks contain too much information for me to test whether I understood or not. I already know calculus, linear algebra and python.

A good course for beginners, willing to learn Deep Learning.

The course builds upon the previous concepts, which is a good thing.

The instructor explains concepts in a lucid manner.

Overall, a top experience!

Great course, though i have been working with DL models before this course, i never intuitively understood their internal workings. This course strengthened by basics and enhanced my understanding about DL

The course is great, you don't have to know a lot of calculus to follow through however basic knowledge of linear algebra can help in easily grasping the fundamentals. The assignments are also very helpful

The course is really helpful to develop a better intuition about the algorithmic working of neural networks.The calculus portion was just the right amount and the programming assignments were fun to solve.

Really easy to understand for someone who has no knowledge about neural networks before! Coding exercises helped me remember the concepts better. Even if you are experienced, this would be a great refresh!

This course helped me unfold the Deep learning Blackbox for me.

I would like to thank the mentor and the organiser for structuring the course in a way where we can get a descent understanding of the basics.

the code in the programming assignments needs to be explained more thoroughly , if in the video not only the forward and backpropagation part but also few other parts are explained it will be more helpful.

An excellent introduction to deep learning. Only feedback is that the derivation of the math behind the backpropagation equations was not shown for people wanting to understand how the formulas came about.

After this I am a great fan of Andrew Ng. I mean the simplicity he has used to explain nn and deep learning is legendary. Assignment and Quizes were well suited for testing the understanding from lectures.

Andrew made this basic but very important knowledge much easier to understand. The python practice part is also very helpful. It rechecked the parts I didn't really understand after the lecture. Do thanks.
