Notes from the course Neural Networks and Deep Learning
The title graphic for this page I created with Stable Diffusion, using the text as a prompt which included illustrations by santiago ramon y cajal. Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a Spanish neuroscientist, pathologist, and histologist specializing in neuroanatomy and the central nervous system. He and Camillo Golgi received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906.
I started this Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera. However, after a couple of weeks I decided to stop doing it. The course has a very high rating on Coursera, but personally I found it a bit boring and I didn’t like the teaching method of the main instructor (Andrew Ng from DeepLearning.AI) — the whole course basically seems to be Andrew writing equations and drawing graphs on a whiteboard, which to me seems a dull way to teach what is a very exciting and interesting subject.
Here are my notes from the first couple of weeks of the course:
