Standard notation for Deep Learning (by Andrew Ng)

Hi all,

I won’t bother explaining the reasons why, but I was just recently watching the absolutely magnificent lecture about GANs (2018) by Jeremy.

He mentioned about the problem with many of the papers using a different notation. Then it clicked: I had seen a standard notation suggested for Deep Learning by THE Andrew Ng.

Here it is: https://cs230.stanford.edu/files/Notation.pdf

What do you think about it? Should everyone adopt it? Or is it just: https://xkcd.com/927/ ?
