Getting Started

This lesson will introduce the course and its prerequisites.

We'll cover the following

Quick overview

The core of this course is to teach you how to code basic MLMachine Learning models. The content is designed for beginners with general knowledge of machine learning, including common algorithms like linear regression, logistic regression, support vector machines and decision trees. You will get a solid foundation in machine learning algorithms through this course, even if you are totally new to machine learning or just starting in this field.

Prerequisites

The ideal skill set for a machine learning developer includes:

  • Coding (Python, R, SPSS, SAS, etc.)
  • Data management
  • Statistics
  • Mathematics

Optional areas of expertise include:

  • Data visualization
  • Big data management
  • Distributed computing architecture

Note: This course covers the vital coding part of machine learning using Python. Therefore, the only prerequisite is foundational knowledge of Python programming.
