Why and How Do I Get Into

Machine learning Development?


Fourth industrial revolution will completely change the landscape of business weather, as well
as how humans interact with their environment and each other.
It is more than just technology-driven change. It is about the emergence of new technologies,
processes and business models that are in their infancy of creating disruption.

It's a fusion of advances in Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, 3-D printing, artificial intelligence
(AI), and more technologies. Most importantly he technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
is inseparably tied to the vast amounts of data needed to develop artificial intelligence and other
key forms of modern technology. Considering this, I arranged a few development courses
intertwined with and related to data science for those very reasons.

AI and machine learning algorithms have the capability to automate and optimize analytics
processes, which in turn creates transformative business insights.

With data growing exponentially and our technology advancing at such a rapid pace
we must be data literate.

I am continuously fascinated by AI and all the potential it holds in its mysterious existence.
specialty. The knowledge of a forthcoming technical revolution like AI technology is just too
exciting to miss.

Presently, I am working towards becoming a data scientist I made it my goal to move into the
analytics and data science space somewhere around in 2018. learning more about machine
learning and Artificial Intelligence was paramount.

How to start?
In this post, you will find reviews and related materials on many AI and ML courses. I ranked one based
on my experience. I have tried to include everything that comes to my mind, including some links which I
think could be beneficial. I put together a couple of steps
prerequisites
There is no right or wrong way to get into ML or AI but for sure there are prerequisites you need
to strengthen your self on it before moving forward
When I started learning ML I had to pause for a while as I realized that I needed to refresh my
memories before moving forward.
Learn as much math as you can before you jump into the best courses and other learning
resources on AI that you can find.

 linear algebra
 basic knowledge of calculus
 probability and statistics
Python and algorithm s required to learn machine learning (Note: R is an alternative solution)

 Algorithms
 Python

Some suggestions/Resources:
 Python for Everybody on Coursera — learn Python from scratch.
 Jupyter Notebook for Beginners Tutorial by Dataquest — get up and running with
Jupyter Notebooks in one article.
 Probability and Statistics by Stanford Online
This wonderful, self-paced course covers basic concepts in probability and statistics
spanning over four fundamental aspects of machine learning: exploratory data analysis,
producing data, probability, and inference.

Once you’ve got some Python skills, you’ll want to learn how to work with and manipulate data.
To do so, you should get familiar with pandas, NumPy and Matplotlib.

Learn machine learning concepts

I took these two courses last summer in Stanford. I shared my opinion about them. You can find
the course online too

 CS229: Machine Learning in Stanford


For me I liked this course but you need to be good with linear algebra. This course
shouldn’t be your first introduction into machine learning. Note: here where I had to
pause and refresh my memory which in return it was a rough time
 CS221: Artificial Intelligence: Principles and Techniques
The assignments are interesting, practical, and manageable. This class was great as

 Machine Learning by Coursera


It is similar to CS229 Originally taught at Stanford, Andrew Ng’s course is probably the
most popular machine learning course in the world. Its Coursera version has been
enrolled by more 2.5M people as of writing. This course is theory-heavy, so students
would benefit more from the course if they have taken more practical courses

 Data science immersive (General assembly)


Unfortunately, because of COVID-19 this was an online course. But still, the course was
great as passing the course depend on if you are familiar with Python and NumPy as
there is a fair amount of coding involved.

Final thought!
Kaggle might be the single best location for expanding your skills through hands-on data
science projects.

Machine learning can be applied almost in any domain so try to learn by doing. For me, I tried to
apply it in my product where we are focusing on customer relationship. The product allows
owners to easily create custom loyalty programs in minutes. We started incorporating machine
learning algorithms into the product, resulting in significant improvements to our
recommendation engine, marketing campaign, not to mention measuring the lifetime value of
our client’s customers.
