This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Welcome to Introduction to Machine Learning for Coders! taught by Jeremy Howard (Kaggle's #1 competitor 2 years running, and founder of Enlitic). Learn the most important machine learning models, including how to create them yourself from scratch, as well as key skills in data preparation, model validation, and building data products.
There are around 24 hours of lessons, and you should plan to spend around 8 hours a week for 12 weeks to complete the material. The course is based on lessons recorded at the University of San Francisco for the Masters of Science in Data Science program. We assume that you have at least one year of coding experience, and either remember what you learned in high school math, or are prepared to do some independent study to refresh your knowledge.
