About the Course

In the fifth course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will become familiar with sequence models and their exciting applications such as speech recognition, music synthesis, chatbots, machine translation, natural language processing (NLP), and more. By the end, you will be able to build and train Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and commonly-used variants such as GRUs and LSTMs; apply RNNs to Character-level Language Modeling; gain experience with natural language processing and Word Embeddings; and use HuggingFace tokenizers and transformer models to solve different NLP tasks such as NER and Question Answering. The Deep Learning Specialization is a 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 take the definitive step in the world of AI by helping you gain the knowledge and skills to level up your career....

Cant express how thankful I am to Andrew Ng, literally thought me from start to finish when my school didnt touch about it, learn a lot and decided to use my knowledge and apply to real world projects

The lectures covers lots of SOTA deep learning algorithms and the lectures are well-designed and easy to understand. The programming assignment is really good to enhance the understanding of lectures.

The videos are of high quality as always, while the programming exercises had some error in it. Compare with the previous few courses this one seems not polished so well.

I learned a lot, but it really felt like there could have been a whole other week's worth of material, especially talking about newer innovations like transformers, etc.

This course and assignments helped me understand concepts in NLP. However, it is a little less comprehensive compared to the previous courses in the deep learning series

Thank you Deep learning team for putting together this course. The course has really helped me understand the various possibilities with the knowledge of deep learning.

The first week was a bit too tough compared to the second and third. So, I felt it was a bit hurried. It could have been distributed into two separate weeks, perhaps.

This course was very useful. I would make the programming assignments for the first session a bit clear. Other than that, everything was easy to understand and clear.

Good, but not as in depth as the other lecture series I found. It is faster paced and skips over much more of the detail at which they go into in the earlier modules.

If the programming exercises weren't plagued by some bugs, I would have given 5 star. It's a very complex subject matter, but Andrew takes you through it by the hand.

I feel week 2 and week 3 materials were covered a bit too quick. Would appreciate more explanation of the implementation details of beam search and activation model.

This last course (and especially the Week 4 material about transformers) feels much more rushed and less detailed than the previous courses in that specialization.

It was really helpful, every topics explained very well. However, in my standpoint of view, It did not cover some part in sequence learning, like graphical models.

Really nice course. Very informative. Unfortunately some programming exercises were a little buggy (the grader especially)...only a total reset of notebook helped!

Great course, I learned a lot. The notebooks in courses 4 and 5 are a bit too long, they take a considerable amount of time, much more than the videos and quizes.

Wonderful, I just felt at times that the exercises were more similar to general programming than sequence modelling. Still, 10/10 course, would totally recommend.

this course provide an adequate and what you want to know about recurrent neural network but it does require lots of programming skills to accomplish this course.

Good course, but I needed more time than expected, especially for the exercises. For me, that was the most demanding course out of the 5 from that specialization.

A lot of cool material covered from RNNs to LSTMs to Sequence Modeling. But it is a lot to grasp and a lot to understand. Overall, rigor and course is decent.

programming assignments are not teaching us to code independently because of the helpers functions given in utils file. Feels like copy pasting the assignments

It is a really awesome course for those who want to get started with deep learning methods in NLP.

Got a very clear insight about GRU,LSTM,RNN,Word Embeddings.

The course is really good, one star less because it requires keras understanding to complete assignments properly. Including a basic intro of keras will help

The time allocated to some of the assigments should be increased. The estimated time in many cases seems to assume that one is aware of Keras and Tensorflow

To the point ; sometimes it would be nice to explain the research papers more in depth, and link other courses to have more formal mathematical explanations

Give us one more week to learn RNN for time series in economics, finance, etc!

Programming Exercises need more hints and more training in simple Keras models

Well-made course, but unfortunately there are tons of mistakes in the programming assignments - in the comments, formulas, even in the prepared code pieces.

The best course in the Deep Learning Specialization. Really good and well explained. There are some problems and mistakes in the problem assignments though.
