ABOUT THIS COURSE
This course explains machine learning for absolute beginners by building a visual understanding of the underlying concepts. It covers some foundational mathematics behind the machine learning models and then guides you in coding for models to solve real-world machine learning problems.
You’ll begin by understanding the limitations of traditional coding techniques in solving machine learning problems. Next, you’ll get familiar with the machine learning process. Then, you’ll build your first machine learning model from scratch—a single perceptron. The course then takes you from a single neuron to a multilayer perceptron to solve a non-linearly separable classification dataset. Finally, the course introduces Python’s library, scikit-learn, where you’ll learn to build models for classification, regression, and unsupervised clustering.
This course aims to make you a lifelong learner and serves as a great starting point for a successful career in machine learning.
