Comprehensive Machine Learning Course with Hands-On Experience (10 HOURS) | Master ML for Free in 2024 | Part-1

Welcome to the ultimate Machine Learning course that will take you from beginner to advanced in just 10 hours! In this course, you will learn everything you need to know about Machine Learning, from the basics to advanced concepts. By the end of this course, you will be able to build your own Machine Learning models and apply them to real-world problems.

In this Part-1 of the course, we will cover the basics of Machine Learning, including what Machine Learning is, the different types of Machine Learning algorithms, and how to choose the right algorithm for your problem. We will also cover the different stages of a Machine Learning project, from data collection to model evaluation.

Let’s start by understanding what Machine Learning is. Machine Learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of algorithms and models that can learn from and make predictions based on data. In simpler terms, Machine Learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed.

There are three main types of Machine Learning algorithms: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. In supervised learning, the algorithm is trained on labeled data, where the input data is paired with the desired output. The algorithm learns to map the input data to the output labels. In unsupervised learning, the algorithm is trained on unlabeled data, where the goal is to learn the underlying structure of the data. In reinforcement learning, the algorithm learns to make decisions by interacting with the environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards.

To choose the right Machine Learning algorithm for your problem, you need to consider the type of data you have, the size of your dataset, and the complexity of the problem. Different algorithms are suited for different types of data and different problem domains.

Now that you have a basic understanding of Machine Learning, let’s move on to the different stages of a Machine Learning project. The first stage is data collection, where you gather the data that will be used to train your model. The next stage is data preprocessing, where you clean, transform, and prepare the data for training. This is an important step, as the quality of your data will have a significant impact on the performance of your model.

After data preprocessing, the next stage is model training, where you select an algorithm, train the model on the data, and tune the hyperparameters to optimize performance. Once the model is trained, you evaluate its performance on a separate test dataset to ensure that it generalizes well to new data. Finally, you deploy the model to make predictions on new data and monitor its performance over time.

In Part-1 of this course, we have covered the basics of Machine Learning, including what Machine Learning is, the different types of Machine Learning algorithms, and the different stages of a Machine Learning project. In Part-2, we will dive deeper into supervised learning algorithms, including linear regression, logistic regression, and decision trees.
