Product is rated as #79 in category Machine Learning

This introductory computer science course in machine learning will cover basic theory, algorithms, and applications. Machine learning is a key technology in Big Data, and in many financial, medical, commercial, and scientific applications. It enables computational systems to automatically learn how to perform a desired task based on information extracted from the data. Machine learning has become one of the hottest fields of study today and the demand for jobs is only expected to increase. Gaining skills in this field will get you one step closer to becoming a data scientist or quantitative analyst. This course balances theory and practice, and covers the mathematical as well as the heuristic aspects. The lectures follow each other in a story–like fashion: What is learning? Can a machine learn? How to do it? How to do it well? Take–home lessons.

Hchan – March 28, 2015
The best online machine learning course I’ve taken (I’ve completed courses by Andrew Ng as well as Hastie and Tibshirani et al), this course covers rigorous theory as well as practical aspects, setting you up for a very solid foundation for future study in machine learning. Assignments are challenging and really require you to understand and engage with the material. Prof Abu Mostafa’s teaching quality is amazing and even highly complex concepts are clearly presented.

Excellent caltech course which runs in parallel with the on site university class.
Good theoretical coverage and applied programming exercises. Highly dedicated teacher and teaching assistants, closely following up the discussion forum. recommended for every serious data scientist. One of the best MOOCs I’ve completed. More elaborated than Andrew Ng’s intro to Machine Learning.
