Kai Saksela is the CEO of NL Acoustics, a Finnish technology startup that designs and manufactures AI products to analyze sounds. He took the Deep Learning Specialization primarily because he loves learning new skills and has been fascinated by the field for a long time. He also had a hunch that neural networks would help his company solve a core problem: providing customers guidance on what they should do when their equipment starts making strange noises. He spoke with us about how his hunch paid off and why AI plays a central role in his company’s growth.

Matt Struble is an engineer at a sportswear company, where he currently leads a team that’s developing a deep learning system for predicting shoe trends a year or two into the future. Before taking the Deep Learning Specialization, he was a computer programmer who watched data scientists from afar.

Olivier Moulin is an IT manager for a large, multi-national medical technology company who has been working in technology for over 20 years. Early in his career, he made a tough decision to take a high paying job instead of pursuing a Ph.D. He spoke with us about how the Deep Learning Specialization helped him build the confidence to go back

Apala Guha is a senior machine learning compiler engineer at Lightmatter, a Boston-area startup. Before that, she was a computer scientist who had always been interested in deep learning. When she quit her previous job at the beginning of 2020 to have a baby, she took advantage of the “time off” to take the Specialization.

Aleksandr Gontcharov is a software engineer at Microsoft. Early in his career, he moved from job to job, but none of them ever felt right. The Deep Learning Specialization helped him find his calling; he was hired for a machine learning role while still taking the courses. He spoke with us about why the Specialization was the spark that put his career in motion. 

Luciano Darriba is an AI developer living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In his former life, he was an astrophysicist. This wasn’t fulfilling him, so he took the Deep Learning Specialization in hopes of kickstarting a new trajectory. Less than a year later, he had a new job working at Baufest, a software services company.

In this blog post, Synaptic-AnN, one of the winners of the Data-Centric AI Competition, describes techniques and strategies that led to victory. Participants received a fixed model architecture and a dataset of 1,500 handwritten Roman numerals. Their task was to optimize model performance solely by improving the dataset and dividing it into training and validation sets. The dataset size was capped at 10,000.
