This is my assignment on Andrew Ng's special course "Deep Learning Specialization" This special course consists of five courses:

• Neural Networks and Deep Learning  
• Improving Deep Neural Networks: Hyperparameter tuning, Regularization and Optimization
• Structuring Machine Learning Projects
• Convolutional Neural Networks
• Sequence Models

Neural Networks and Deep Learning

• In this course, you will learn the foundations of deep learning. When you finish this class, you will:

  • Understand the major technology trends driving Deep Learning
  • Be able to build, train and apply fully connected deep neural networks
  • Know how to implement efficient (vectorized) neural networks
  • Understand the key parameters in a neural network's architecture

• This course also teaches you how Deep Learning actually works, rather than presenting only a cursory or surface-level description. So after completing it, you will be able to apply deep learning to a your own applications. If you are looking for a job in AI, after this course you will also be able to answer basic interview questions.

• Programming Assignments:

  • Understand industry best-practices for building deep learning applications.
  • Be able to effectively use the common neural network "tricks", including initialization, L2 and dropout regularization, Batch normalization, gradient checking,
  • Be able to implement and apply a variety of optimization algorithms, such as mini-batch gradient descent, Momentum, RMSprop and Adam, and check for their convergence.
  • Understand new best-practices for the deep learning era of how to set up train/dev/test sets and analyze bias/variance
  • Be able to implement a neural network in TensorFlow.
• Programming Assignments:
  • Initialization [notebook] [py]

Structuring Machine Learning Projects

• You will learn how to build a successful machine learning project. If you aspire to be a technical leader in AI, and know how to set direction for your team's work, this course will show you how.Much of this content has never been taught elsewhere, and is drawn from my experience building and shipping many deep learning products. This course also has two "flight simulators" that let you practice decision-making as a machine learning project leader. This provides "industry experience" that you might otherwise get only after years of ML work experience.
• When you finish this class, you will:
  • Understand how to diagnose errors in a machine learning system, and be able to prioritize the most promising directions for reducing error.
  • Understand complex ML settings, such as mismatched training/test sets, and comparing to and/or surpassing human-level performance
  • Know how to apply end-to-end learning, transfer learning, and multi-task learning

Convolutional Neural Networks

• This course will teach you how to build convolutional neural networks and apply it to image data. Thanks to deep learning, computer vision is working far better than just two years ago, and this is enabling numerous exciting applications ranging from safe autonomous driving, to accurate face recognition, to automatic reading of radiology images.
• When you finish this class,you will:
  • Understand how to build a convolutional neural network, including recent variations such as residual networks.
  • Know how to apply convolutional networks to visual detection and recognition tasks.
  • Know to use neural style transfer to generate art.
  • Be able to apply these algorithms to a variety of image, video, and other 2D or 3D data.
