I'm sorry, Dave.
I'm afraid I can do that.

Missing calculation of gradient descent derivatives on Coursera Deep Learning specialization
February 20, 2018
For some reasons Andrew Ng didn't show how to obtain derivatives in back-prop. He showed final results only. I didn't feel good about that. It wasn't a nice feeling to do not understand something from the very beginning. That's why I performed necessary calculation on my own.
Would you like to see how it's done?
Results of caviar strategy with Early Stopping in single neuron training - analysis of Coursera cat detector.

Here you'll find results of my own experiments inspired by programming assignment from first course of Coursera Deep Learning specialization - cat detector.
Initial play with hyperparameters and - later - more systematic search led me to much better accuracy and interesting observations.
