Dear AVian!

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

2016 has been phenomenal for Analytics Vidhya and we thank you for making it special
for us. This year we launched several new formats of hackathons and competitions, we
launched webinars, our slack channel and several meet ups. Each of these was received
with tremendous enthusiasm and action. We grew multi-folds in terms of traffic and global
recognition. We also now have close to 50,000 registered users on the portal.

In order to end this year on a high, we thought of providing you handy reference guides
on areas of your interest. These guides are curation of some of the best reference
materials available on the web in each of these areas. We hope you find these guides
useful and they will kick start your learning in 2017.

As we move in the New Year, we plan to launch a new job portal for our community. We
will continue to come up with more skill tests and exciting hackathons and it should all
translate to better job opportunities for the community. If you have any questions /
thoughts / suggestions for us, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

With that, I will like to once again thank you all and wish you a very happy new year.

Till then, stay warm and keep learning.

Regards
Kunal Jain
CEO & Founder

Introduction
Machine learning is changing the face of analytics industry. The goal of machine learning
is to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem.
Many successful applications of machine learning already exist, including systems that
analyse past sales data to predict customer behaviour, optimise robot behaviour so that
a task can be completed using minimum resources, and extract knowledge from
bioinformatics data.
Below are some of the resources that will get you started on learning concepts of Machine
Learning along with its practical applications.
