What you'll learn
Practical aspects of Deep Learning
Optimization algorithms
Hyperparameter tuning, Batch Normalization and Programming Frameworks
Description
This course will teach you the “magic” of getting deep learning to work well. Rather than the deep learning process being a black box, you will understand what drives performance, and be able to more systematically get good results. You will also learn TensorFlow.
After 3 weeks, you will:
– 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.
This is the second course of the Deep Learning Specialization.
