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 would love some pointers to additional references for each video. Also, the instructor keeps saying that the math behind backprop is hard. What about an optional video with that? Otherwise, awesome!

Andrew explained the concepts very well and contextualized in just the right kind of real world examples, with none of the fluff that's surrounding deep learning these days. Incredibly good teaching.

Not quite as amazing as Ng's origin ML course, but still five stars and the Python is so much friendlier than Octave!

The course is terrific.

I would recommend adding exercises that are a little bit less obvious and less a walk-through.

Very good -

the only thing that was surprising were all the notation changes compared to the machine_learning course
