Welcome to your week 4 assignment (part 1 of 2)! You have previously trained a 2-layer Neural Network (with a single hidden layer). This week, you will build a deep neural network, with as many layers as you want!
After this assignment you will be able to:

To build your neural network, you will be implementing several "helper functions". These helper functions will be used in the next assignment to build a two-layer neural network and an L-layer neural network. Each small helper function you will implement will have detailed instructions that will walk you through the necessary steps. Here is an outline of this assignment, you will:
Note that for every forward function, there is a corresponding backward function. That is why at every step of your forward module you will be storing some values in a cache. The cached values are useful for computing gradients. In the backpropagation module you will then use the cache to calculate the gradients. This assignment will show you exactly how to carry out each of these steps.
You will write two helper functions that will initialize the parameters for your model. The first function will be used to initialize parameters for a two layer model. The second one will generalize this initialization process to L L layers.
Exercise: Create and initialize the parameters of the 2-layer neural network.

The initialization for a deeper L-layer neural network is more complicated because there are many more weight matrices and bias vectors. When completing the initialize_parameters_deep
, you should make sure that your dimensions match between each layer. Recall that n[l] n [ l ] is the number of units in layer l l . Thus for example if the size of our input X X is (12288,209) ( 12288 , 209 ) (with m=209 m = 209 examples) then:
Shape of W | Shape of b | Activation | Shape of Activation | |
Layer 1 | (n[1],12288) ( n [ 1 ] , 12288 ) | (n[1],1) ( n [ 1 ] , 1 ) | Z[1]=W[1]X+b[1] Z [ 1 ] = W [ 1 ] X + b [ 1 ] | (n[1],209) ( n [ 1 ] , 209 ) |

⋮ ⋮ | ⋮ ⋮ | ⋮ ⋮ | ⋮ ⋮ | ⋮ ⋮ |
Layer L-1 | (n[L−1],n[L−2]) ( n [ L − 1 ] , n [ L − 2 ] ) | (n[L−1],1) ( n [ L − 1 ] , 1 ) | Z[L−1]=W[L−1]A[L−2]+b[L−1] Z [ L − 1 ] = W [ L − 1 ] A [ L − 2 ] + b [ L − 1 ] | (n[L−1],209) ( n [ L − 1 ] , 209 ) |

Remember that when we compute WX+b W X + b in python, it carries out broadcasting. For example, if:
Then WX+b W X + b will be:

Now that you have initialized your parameters, you will do the forward propagation module. You will start by implementing some basic functions that you will use later when implementing the model. You will complete three functions in this order:
The linear forward module (vectorized over all the examples) computes the following equations:
where A[0]=X A [ 0 ] = X .
Exercise: Build the linear part of forward propagation.
Reminder: The mathematical representation of this unit is Z[l]=W[l]A[l−1]+b[l] Z [ l ] = W [ l ] A [ l − 1 ] + b [ l ] . You may also find np.dot()
useful. If your dimensions don't match, printing W.shape
may help.
# GRADED FUNCTION: linear_forward

In this notebook, you will use two activation functions:
Sigmoid: σ(Z)=σ(WA+b)=11+e−(WA+b) σ ( Z ) = σ ( W A + b ) = 1 1 + e − ( W A + b ) . We have provided you with the sigmoid
function. This function returns two items: the activation value "a
" and a "cache
" that contains "Z
" (it's what we will feed in to the corresponding backward function). To use it you could just call:
A, activation_cache = sigmoid(Z)
ReLU: The mathematical formula for ReLu is A=RELU(Z)=max(0,Z) A = R E L U ( Z ) = m a x ( 0 , Z ) . We have provided you with the relu
function. This function returns two items: the activation value "A
" and a "cache
" that contains "Z
" (it's what we will feed in to the corresponding backward function). To use it you could just call:
A, activation_cache = relu(Z)
For more convenience, you are going to group two functions (Linear and Activation) into one function (LINEAR->ACTIVATION). Hence, you will implement a function that does the LINEAR forward step followed by an ACTIVATION forward step.
Exercise: Implement the forward propagation of the LINEAR->ACTIVATION layer. Mathematical relation is: A[l]=g(Z[l])=g(W[l]A[l−1]+b[l]) A [ l ] = g ( Z [ l ] ) = g ( W [ l ] A [ l − 1 ] + b [ l ] ) where the activation "g" can be sigmoid() or relu(). Use linear_forward() and the correct activation function.

Note: In deep learning, the "[LINEAR->ACTIVATION]" computation is counted as a single layer in the neural network, not two layers.
### d) L-Layer Model
For even more convenience when implementing the $L$-layer Neural Net, you will need a function that replicates the previous one (`linear_activation_forward` with RELU) $L-1$ times, then follows that with one `linear_activation_forward` with SIGMOID.

**Figure 2** : *[LINEAR -> RELU] $\times$ (L-1) -> LINEAR -> SIGMOID* model
**Exercise**: Implement the forward propagation of the above model.
**Instruction**: In the code below, the variable `AL` will denote $A^{[L]} = \sigma(Z^{[L]}) = \sigma(W^{[L]} A^{[L-1]} + b^{[L]})$. (This is sometimes also called `Yhat`, i.e., this is $\hat{Y}$.)
**Tips**:
- Use the functions you had previously written
- Use a for loop to replicate [LINEAR->RELU] (L-1) times
- Don't forget to keep track of the caches in the "caches" list. To add a new value `c` to a `list`, you can use `list.append(c)`.

Great! Now you have a full forward propagation that takes the input X and outputs a row vector A[L] A [ L ] containing your predictions. It also records all intermediate values in "caches". Using A[L] A [ L ] , you can compute the cost of your predictions.
Now you will implement forward and backward propagation. You need to compute the cost, because you want to check if your model is actually learning.

# GRADED FUNCTION: compute_cost
def compute_cost(AL, Y):

Just like with forward propagation, you will implement helper functions for backpropagation. Remember that back propagation is used to calculate the gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameters.
Reminder:
Now, similar to forward propagation, you are going to build the backward propagation in three steps:
For layer l l , the linear part is: Z[l]=W[l]A[l−1]+b[l] Z [ l ] = W [ l ] A [ l − 1 ] + b [ l ] (followed by an activation).
Suppose you have already calculated the derivative dZ[l]=∂∂Z[l] d Z [ l ] = ∂ L ∂ Z [ l ] . You want to get (dW[l],db[l]dA[l−1]) ( d W [ l ] , d b [ l ] d A [ l − 1 ] ) .
The three outputs (dW[l],db[l],dA[l]) ( d W [ l ] , d b [ l ] , d A [ l ] ) are computed using the input dZ[l] d Z [ l ] .Here are the formulas you need:
