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
Luo Yuzheng

“As a Behavioral Scientist, I was able to adopt methods to understand my customers better, overcome the traditional ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, and design interventions which account for personality and individual differences.”

Luo Yuzheng
Assistant Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore
Chirag Godawat

“I gained confidence in my knowledge of machine learning. Since then, I’ve become a machine learning mentor, got a research paper published in IEEE, decided to pursue my Masters in Machine Learning, and was able to land a job at JP Morgan Chase.”

Chirag Godawat
Data Engineer, Vista
Hsin-Wen Chang

“The Machine Learning course became a guiding light. Andrew Ng explains concepts with simple visualizations and plots. I learned how to evaluate my training results and explain the outcomes to my colleagues, boss, and even the vice president of our company.”

Hsin-Wen Chang
Sr. C++ Developer, Zealogics
