Deep Learning Specialization

📚 Overview

This repository contains my completed assignment projects and solutions for the Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera, taught by Andrew Ng. The specialization is a 5-course series designed to provide a strong foundation in deep learning concepts and practical applications using Python and TensorFlow.

✅ Specialization Details

The Deep Learning Specialization helps you:

• Understand the capabilities, challenges, and consequences of deep learning.
• Build and train neural network architectures such as:
  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
  • Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
  • LSTMs
  • Transformers
• Apply techniques like Dropout, Batch Normalization, Xavier/He Initialization.
• Work on real-world cases: speech recognition, music synthesis, chatbots, machine translation, NLP, and more.
