Featured Review
Harsh Shah (5/5): One of the best courses about the fundamentals of RNNs. It caters to newcomers and experts alike. This is a course anyone with a good background in Python data science programming can take.
Pros
- Joseph French (5/5): This course is impressive in the details it goes into about recurrent neural networks.
- Shing Sung (5/5): One of the best courses on the fundamentals of recurrent networks.
- Scott Lustig (5/5): Best class to simultaneously learn about a great emerging ML framework while picking up theano en route.
- Guiren Sun (5/5): I took this course just to see what LSTMs are all about, but it turned out to be a great course.
Cons
- Ellie Biessek (1/5): Concepts that I already seen in the other course are explained so badly here that I rather just get confused than improve
- Prudvi Raj Kummari (1/5): all that code is useless if the concepts are not clearly explained.
- Deven Madan (1/5): If you’re looking for the basics of machine learning with a slight focus on RNNs this is for you.
