Overview

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.

Syllabus 4

  1. Introduction to Deep Learning 2.5 hours

    Analyze the major trends driving the rise of deep learning, and give examples of where and how it is applied today.

  2. Neural Networks Basics 8 hours

    Set up a machine learning problem with a neural network mindset and use vectorization to speed up your models.

  3. Shallow Neural Networks 5.5 hours

    Build a neural network with one hidden layer, using forward propagation and backpropagation.

  4. Deep Neural Networks 8.5 hours

    Analyze the key computations underlying deep learning, then use them to build and train deep neural networks for computer vision tasks.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

  • Structured courses with graded quizzes, assignments and deadlines you can reset.
  • A shareable certificate from the university or company when you pay.
  • Financial aid is often approved for students in India (apply 15 days before you need it).
  • Andrew Ng and his team are among the clearest AI teachers anywhere.
  • Short courses are made with the companies building the tools (OpenAI, Google, AWS, Hugging Face).
  • From DeepLearning.AI, a well-regarded name.
  • Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 123,818 learners.
  • Self-paced: start any time.

Disadvantages

  • Paid after a 7-day free trial (Coursera Plus or per course).
  • Some courses can be audited for free, but graded work and certificates need payment.
  • Short courses are 1–2 hours: an introduction, not mastery.
  • Some notebooks need a paid Pro plan or your own API key.

Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.

This course is paid. Here is how to take it for free

  • Free trials: You can start a 7-day free trial for many individual courses, Specializations, or a Coursera Plus subscription to test full course features. Cancel before the seventh day if you do not want to be charged.
  • Financial aid: If you cannot afford the fee for a certificate, you can apply for financial aid through the link on the course home page by filling out an application about your background and goals.
