About the Course

Do you have data and wonder what it can tell you? Do you need a deeper understanding of the core ways in which machine learning can improve your business? Do you want to be able to converse with specialists about anything from regression and classification to deep learning and recommender systems? In this course, you will get hands-on experience with machine learning from a series of practical case-studies. At the end of the first course you will have studied how to predict house prices based on house-level features, analyze sentiment from user reviews, retrieve documents of interest, recommend products, and search for images. Through hands-on practice with these use cases, you will be able to apply machine learning methods in a wide range of domains. This first course treats the machine learning method as a black box. Using this abstraction, you will focus on understanding tasks of interest, matching these tasks to machine learning tools, and assessing the quality of the output. In subsequent courses, you will delve into the components of this black box by examining models and algorithms. Together, these pieces form the machine learning pipeline, which you will use in developing intelligent applications. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, you will be able to: -Identify potential applications of machine learning in practice. -Describe the core differences in analyses enabled by regression, classification, and clustering. -Select the appropriate machine learning task for a potential application. -Apply regression, classification, clustering, retrieval, recommender systems, and deep learning. -Represent your data as features to serve as input to machine learning models. -Assess the model quality in terms of relevant error metrics for each task. -Utilize a dataset to fit a model to analyze new data. -Build an end-to-end application that uses machine learning at its core. -Implement these techniques in Python....

Very good overview of ML. The GraphLab api wasn't that bad, and also it was very wise of the instructors to allow the use of other ML packages. Overall i enjoyed it very much and also leaned very much

The course was well designed and delivered by all the trainers with the help of case study and great examples.

The forums and discussions were really useful and helpful while doing the assignments.

Takes a very soft approach, at least to start with (a little slow). Uses closed source tooling, so that might not be ideal.

The course is very simple so far. Hope it's just because it's the first one in the specialization. Love the teaching style.

Good tips. A little bit of hand-holding, however, nice starter course and good introduction to a broad range of concepts.

Good course for newbies, but hoping the coding used sklearn and other tools that are more useful in real life situations.

Excellent case study approach. Hopefully, other methods-rather than graphlab- will be included as well in future courses.

Good as theoretical concepts but labs stick with Graphlab which not commonly used library. But overall good experience.

Really good lectures, missed a bit of a complexity and got some problems with the hole turicreate/graphlab transition.

Good Course. Teachers have taught it well and the jupyter notebooks are good and give a good deal of practise.
