    About the Course

    In the second course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will open the deep learning black box to understand the processes that drive
    performance and generate good results systematically. By the end, you will learn the best practices to train and develop test sets and analyze
    bias/variance for building deep learning applications; be able to use standard neural network techniques such as initialization, L2 and dropout
    regularization, hyperparameter tuning, batch normalization, and gradient checking; implement and apply a variety of optimization algorithms,
    such as mini-batch gradient descent, Momentum, RMSprop and Adam, and check for their convergence; and implement a ne...

    Thank you Andrew!! I know start to use Tensorflow, however, this tool is not well for a research goal. Maybe, pytorch could be considered in the future!! And let us know how to use pytorch in Windows.
