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.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
