Andrew Ng, who requires no introduction, released five new courses as part of a Coursera specialization on deep learning. The 5 courses in the Deep Learning specialization are:
- Neural Networks and Deep Learning
- Improving Deep Neural Networks
- Structuring Machine Learning Projects
- Convolutional Neural Networks
- Sequence Models
I'm still yet to finish the ultra popular course on machine learning taught by Ng on Coursera. However, I'm excited to enroll in the first course of this new specialization, Neural Networks and Deep Learning, which spans over 4 weeks and covers:
- introduction to deep learning
- the basics of neural nets
- shallow neural nets
- deep neural nets
What's more exciting is that Coursera (possibly with a little nudging from Ng) offers a 7-day free trial for all courses, a time period in which you can take any course for free and (I guess) the statement of accomplishment which comes along. I'd challenge myself to try to finish this one course in less than 7 days, but I have quite a few things going on right now, so I'm still trying to figure out the best timing.
Outside of that: all courses can be audited for free at any time. What's behind the price is: the graded assignments and the statements of accomplishment.
Anyway, you can learn more about this new specialization and the courses included here:
