Week #01 Hello! What kind of frameworks do you need for programming assignment?

Course Q&A Deep Learning Specialization Sequence Models
1

Do we need advanced tensorflow or Pytorch?
Do we need any other tool or framework?

I would appreciate it if you could help me with these questions.
Thank you!

The Deep Learning Specialization uses TensorFlow and numpy. They introduce TF in DLS Course 2 Week 3, show more advanced techniques in DLS C4 (all weeks) and then continue with that in DLS C5. If you are just starting in DLS C5 because you already know about Convolutional Networks or don’t care about them, then you may need to spend some time on TensorFlow tutorials to get “up to speed” with the TF knowledge needed for DLS C5.

There are a number of TensorFlow specializations here from DeepLearning.AI also, but the normal path is to take those after you complete the MLS and DLS specializations.

PyTorch is not used in the DLAI courses except for the GANs Specialization. That’s a very interesting and well presented course in its own right, but it has the added benefit that you get a nice introduction to PyTorch as a useful side effect.

All you “need” is your browser, the programming environment is hosted by Coursera. You just need to visit the correct course pages.
