For the Keras part, it would be desirable if "clean" zip files were provided for week 2 to week 4 exercises, since they contain the MacOSX folder (which I think it is not required for the exercises). Also for Keras, it might be helpful if any other example could be found, since I do not think that using models which take that many hours (35 hours in Cognitive AI site / 8 hours in Google Colab) contribute in any way to the learning process. Or at least adjust them to use one epoch, like the Pytorch exercises

The course was good, but the only reason I gave it a 4* is because try as I might, the model fitting kept running out of memory on the provided system. I had to create an account on AWS to get my model to run. Maybe a consideration would be to try an alternate dataset that may fit in memory. I spent over 5 days trying it on IBM till before I had to move. to AWS. It was a great set of courses. Could have been a little more challenging as well.

Отличный курс. Он мне понравился, внятные и логичные обьяснения. Обучение происходит от простого к сложному. Естественно есть небольшие шерховатости, например: непонятные показатели календаря при разделении курса на два потока, постоянно пишется, что у тебя просроченны контрольные. Это очень неприятно, дематевирует.

It's a great course to guide you through the full process of training a deep neural net. However, one needs to use external resources to train the model efficiently (Google Colab for example). The resources provided by IBM are not powerful enough to train the model in a reasonable amount of time (no GPU).

Compare to the previous courses, this one is much more robust and actually tests coding skills. If not for annoying bugs with randomly crushing labs and training deep models for 2 hours, it would be a perfect example of what the rest of this specialization should have been.

I completed the course using Keras and I found one issue that the videos were available for PyTorch only and not for Keras in Week 2,3,4 making it difficult to understand for someone who is new to it. Otherwise everything is good. Great course. Thank You.

Very well.

If your goal is to learn, I recommend having a look at both PyTorch and Keras options and taking notes since some new functions are mentioned.

I trained the models offline on my paptop with GPU and it only took a couple of minutes :)

Really good course, although I had some problems with IBM Watson Studio (Tokyo Region) in latency and constant restarting. I think it was a good introduction for people to get into the industry, many covered.

Course Project was more challenging than others in courses in the Certificate series but that was great! Option to complete project in either PyTorch or Tensorflow/Keras was appreciated.

I liked that I was finally able to do a final project with more independence, but libraries are outdated and classes are deprecated or missing in new versions.

The Keras part of the course is more attractive just because its final assignment is much better structured than that of PyTorch.

I like the flexibility to pick our framework for the project i wish the kers one were a little bit more challenging

It is a great task but the tools delivered very complicated. It is sometimes better to use upfront your own tools.

I have completed this course but did not get the badge for it. Is there any way to access it?

good, a lot on image classification, could be a bit more on time series prediction

Thank a lot for creating this course. It really useful and practical for me.

Buen curso, implementando todo lo que se vio en la especializacion

Nice idea, however it could be a little bit more elaborate.

The Keras module was awful to complete

gud

Content good but examination a bit both easy and on irrelevant details. Also, the final project requires use of deprecated functionality. Course material needs proof-reading. I can see that there are a lot of issues with cheating as people uploads almost empty notebooks for peer review hoping that the reviewer won't bother. In addition some steals the notebooks they review and uploads them on a second attempt. In this way I got the opportunity to review my own work, with my name in the code (it wasn't excellent). The conclusion is that the certificates from Coursera may not be worth much for an employer. Likely, too many people cheats the way through this. I would urge the company to improve the process of achieving the certificates. And I would urge participants to do the reviewing carefully and report any fraud attmepts.

If I hadn't taken Dr Ng's courses first I don't think I would have grasped the concepts, most of the really difficult topics were not covered in any depth and there were leaps between topics that I think could have been covered. I am sure the instructors knew what they were talking about but they tended to gloss over things that ended up being important. I am not really sure about the value of the certificate, one of the students I reviewed had obviously just copied and pasted his responses directly from the rubric. You could tell by the text formatting where the rubric had some text bolded that would not have been bolded by the code. I mentioned it but I think he probably got credit for the work. I don't know if it was my place to not give him the credit per the rubric.

1. The whole specialization is unchallenging. There are no real practical assignments, everything is solved for you. At most you're asked to change parameters in the already finished code.

2. Slides and notebooks have lots of typos.

3. The peer-reviewed assignment for AI Capstone Project has misleading instructions for grading which haven't been solved for over 3 years (https://roshoesn.top/learn/ai-deep-learning-capstone/discussions/weeks/4/threads/-4y66yflEeuDNgpyJIMFiQ).

Overall, most videos in specialization are a good introductory overview of the topics but you'll not gain any valuable practical experience with deep learning.
