Course & Note Overview
This repository contains my personal, rigorous study notes taken throughout the 5 courses of the Deep Learning Specialization. Rather than standard lecture transcripts, these notes focus on deep mathematical derivations, architectural intuition, practical debugging strategies, and production considerations across modern deep learning pipelines.
| # | Course | Core Focus & Note Contents |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Neural Networks and Deep Learning | Vectorized forward/backpropagation derivations, activation functions, loss optimization, and multi-layer architecture fundamentals. |
| 2 | Improving Deep Neural Networks | Practical hyperparameter tuning, regularization (Dropout, L2), optimization algorithms (Momentum, RMSprop, Adam), and Batch Normalization. |
| 3 | Structuring Machine Learning Projects | Diagnostic frameworks, error analysis, train/dev/test distribution mismatch handling, and end-to-end ML strategy. |
| 4 | Convolutional Neural Networks | Convolution arithmetic, classic/modern backbones (ResNet, MobileNet), object detection (YOLO, Anchor boxes), semantic segmentation (U-Net), and neural style transfer. |
| 5 | Sequence Models | Temporal modeling with RNNs, GRUs, and LSTMs, attention mechanisms, Transformer architectures, NLP embeddings, and sequence-to-sequence workflows. |
