AI: Building Machine Learning Projects Step by Step
Get up-and-running via Machine Learning with Python's insightful projects
Machine learning gives you unimaginably powerful insights into data. Today, implementations of machine learning have been adopted throughout Industry and its concepts are numerous. This course is a unique blend of projects that teach you what Machine Learning is all about and how you can implement machine learning concepts in practice. Six different independent projects will help you master machine learning in Python. The course will cover concepts such as classification, regression, clustering, and more, all the while working with different kinds of databases. By the end of the course, you will have learned to apply various machine learning algorithms and will have mastered Python's packages and libraries to facilitate computation. You will be able to implement your own machine learning models after taking this course.
In this course, you will learn:
- Explore and use Python's impressive machine learning ecosystem
- Successfully evaluate and apply the most effective models to problems
- Learn the fundamentals of NLP—and put them into practice
- Visualize data for maximum impact and clarity
- Deploy machine learning models using third-party APIs
- Get to grips with feature engineering
This course is a combination of six independent projects, each taking a unique dataset, a different problem statement, and a different solution.

Bill Gates Says These Are the Jobs He Would Drop Out of College for Today
If he were to go into computer sciences today, Gates said, the area that he thought had the most potential was artificial intelligence. Gates brought up a recent victory by Google DeepMind over the top player in the world at Go, a game some predicted a computer could never master. He called it a remarkable achievement that signaled there is more to come in advancement in artificial intelligence. And he said the research being done in the field now is "profound" and on the verge of making new breakthroughs. "The ability for artificial agents to read and understand material is going to be phenomenal," says Gates. "Anything connected with that would be an exciting lifetime career."
