My primary goal in this course was twofold: to obtain an overview of the extensive field of deep neural networks and to gain hands-on experience designing and evaluating some of the particular techniques. This course has enabled me to achieve my goal and more.

I started out with a decent coding foundation but absolutely no understanding of ML outside of buzz and articles meant for the general public. I was hoping to learn details about several different classes of ML algorithms and the problems that they can be applied to, and how to implement them. I feel confident that I can now apply various forms of neural nets to solve many different problems.

I wanted to learn how machine learning works and how it could be applied in my sphere of influence to improve my work products and how it could be used at home as well. I can honestly say that I can see potential for ML all around me! I would often find myself saying, “This would be a great use for ML. How would I build the network?” I understand now how deep networks work, how generative networks work, and how people are using ML in all areas of business, science, and technology.
