What do I need to succeed in this course?

This is an intermediate course, so you should have some experience coding in Python to get the most out of it. You should also be familiar with the basics of machine learning, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, loss functions, and splitting data into training, validation, and test sets. If you have taken the Machine Learning Specialization or Deep Learning Specialization, you’ll be ready to take this course and dive deeper into the fundamentals of generative AI.


What Learners From Previous Courses Say About DeepLearning.AI

Jan Zawadzki

“Within a few minutes and a couple slides, I had the feeling that I could learn any concept. I felt like a superhero after this course. I didn’t know much about deep learning before, but I felt like I gained a strong foothold afterward.”

Jan Zawadzki
Data Scientist at Carmeq
Kritika Jalan

“The whole specialization was like a one-stop-shop for me to decode neural networks and understand the math and logic behind every variation of it. I can say neural networks are less of a black box for a lot of us after taking the course.”

Kritika Jalan
Data Scientist at Corecompete Pvt. Ltd.
Chris Morrow

“During my Amazon interview, I was able to describe, in detail, how a prediction model works, how to select the data, how to train the model, and the use cases in which this model could add value to the customer.”

Chris Morrow
Sr. Product Manager at Amazon
