We would start from the absolute basics. Then we would move on to cover advanced topics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The course assumes you belong to one of the categories below<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have a science background.<\/li>\n<li>Or probably you are passionate about Artificial Intelligence.<\/li>\n<li>Or maybe, you are an enthusiast and want to do what it takes to learn machine learning<\/li>\n<li>You may also be a programmer<\/li>\n<li>You have a finance\/accounting\/economics background<\/li>\n<li>You would like to apply machine learning or financial modelling<\/li>\n<li>Someone that loves challenges<\/li>\n<li>Someone that loves math<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So if any of the above describes you, then tighten your seat belts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How This Tutorial is Arranged<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Weekly Lesson:<\/strong> Every\u00a0 week or twice a week, there would be a lesson. Accompanied by each lesson would be a corresponding video lesson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical Session:<\/strong> After each period (say two weeks), we would have a practical session using any of the tools we would outline<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interaction:<\/strong> It is expected that everyone follows carefully. If you miss something not clear, mention it in a comment under the lesson. So you can receive needed support before the next lesson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quiz and Homework:<\/strong> Periodically, you will receive a quiz or a homework. Ensure to do it promptly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Applications You Need<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Python and Jupyter Notebook:<\/strong> To get these application, please download and install Anaconda. Anaconda is a distribution of Python the bundles with Jupyter Notebook.\u00a0 It is free. Just in case you don&#8217;t know, Jupyter notebook is an application for writing machine learning models in Python. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anaconda.com\/distribution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Anaconda from here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>R-Studio(Optional):<\/strong> I would recommend you download and install RStudio. You can get the free version. It&#8217;s an alternative to Python and Jupyter Notebook, though Python is more feature-rich. But since R-Studio is light-weight, I would recommend having it in your system. Some tasks performed in R-Studio makes it clearer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rstudio.com\/products\/rstudio\/download\/#download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download RStudio from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ML.NET (for .Net programmers):<\/strong> If you are a .Net programmer, then you need know how to add ML.Net to your Visual Studio solution using Nugget Package Manager. We would go through this later anyway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MatLAB (Optional):<\/strong> If you would like to get to the core of every lesson, then also have MatLAB. Or maybe, you want to go further with Data Science.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Some Machine Learning Nuggets<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There have been some lessons I have made in Machine Learning. I recommend you read them up at your leisure time. However, we would gradually cover every bit of any previous lessons I have made.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\">\n<div class=\"iframely-embed\">\n<div class=\"iframely-responsive\" style=\"height: 140px; padding-bottom: 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kindsonthegenius.com\/blog\/introduction-to-machine-learning-ml\" url=\"\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/j8L2l0K\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<div class=\"iframely-embed\">\n<div class=\"iframely-responsive\" style=\"padding-bottom: 58.0029%; padding-top: 120px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kindsonthegenius.com\/blog\/introduction-to-artificial-intelligence-ai\" url=\"\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/MTfgrHN\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Learn <a href=\"https:\/\/kindsonthegenius.com\/blog\/what-is-the-difference-between-machine-learning-and-deep-learning\">difference between Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RNYT9bECfOo\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the very first of a complete Machine Learning\u00a0course\u00a0.
