DeepLearning.AI · on Coursera
Deep Learning Specialization is a paid intermediate course from DeepLearning.AI, online. It's a paid subscription; the price is not recorded yet. It ends with a professional certificate.
Suits programmers with intermediate Python, basic linear algebra and some machine learning knowledge who want the theory and practice of deep learning from Andrew Ng. What stands out is the depth across five courses, from neural network basics to sequence models and transformers. The main caveat is cost: Coursera says it cannot be taken for free, no price is shown, and it estimates 3 months at 10 hours a week. A free alternative is Practical Deep Learning for Coders from fast.ai.
DeepLearning.AI's five-course Specialization on Coursera, taught by Andrew Ng. Learners build and train neural networks in Python and TensorFlow, including convolutional and recurrent networks, LSTMs and transformers, and learn to tune, regularise and structure machine learning projects, with applications in computer vision, speech recognition and NLP.

Partly. Of the 10 DeepLearning.AI courses we list, 4 are free for a limited time during the platform beta, 4 are free to learn with a paid certificate, and 2 are paid. Certificates generally need a paid plan; prices are shown in USD and we don't convert them.
Chosen from other courses of the same kind, then by shared topic. At least one is an Irish course where one fits. Closed courses are left out.
