Honest review of the Deep Learning Specialization by deeplearning.ai

Image
What is Deep Learning Specialization? The Deep Learning Specialization is the group of courses by Andrew Ng and his staff over at deeplearning.ai, which is a comprehensive course that starts at the extreme basics of Neural Networks (a part of Machine Learning) and ends up teaching you concepts applicable in various cutting-edge fields of AI. If you haven't yet learnt from Andrew Ng, all I can say is you're in for a ride! His teaching is excellent and the learner's understanding is ensured. I have done all four courses, with 100% grade and certification, and will review them below. But before that... Proof 1.   Neural Networks and Deep Learning This course is intended to teach you what is Deep Learning  and what it means to the technology world. Although the course starts with Logistic Regression, the course eventually ends up training first shallow Neural Networks and then deep NNs.

A honest review of the Data and Deployment Specialization

  What is the TensorFlow: Data & Deployment Specialization? The TensorFlow: Data and Deployment specialization is deeplearning.ai' s new group of courses and is intended to teach you how to practically use your DL skills to make practical applications. It is co-taught by Andrew Ng and Laurence Moroney, both seasoned veterans in AI and DL. I will give a detailed review of the first course below. I am trying to keep the content coming while doing the course myself! 1. Browser-Based models with TensorFlow.jS This course is intended to teach you how to set up a browser-based model using TensorFlow's browser equivalent- TfjS.  It shows the necessary JavaScript required for training models. It must be noted that tfjs is not direct TensorFlow! It's a different version, and they have few differences, which are correctly taught in the course. If you are used to Andrew Ng lectures, this isn't like that. The course assumes that you know Deep Learning, so most talks...

Only when your data reaches its destination, the suitcase is opened (data is decrypted), and the information is now v...
