1. Foundational Concepts and Python Machine learning starts with data literacy. In this module, you’ll learn to explore and prepare data using NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn. You’ll master descriptive statistics, probability, combinatorics, and the Central Limit Theorem, ensuring you can reason about data like an expert.
2. Maths for ML Mathematics is the backbone of ML algorithms. You’ll dive into linear algebra (vectors, dot products, hyperplanes), calculus (gradients and optimization), and probability theory. By the end, you’ll understand how gradient descent works and why loss functions matter — skills that separate practitioners from hobbyists.
3. Core Machine Learning Algorithms Traditional algorithms are essential even when moving on to deep learning. This module covers:
- Linear and logistic regression
- k-Nearest Neighbors
- Decision trees, random forests, bagging, and boosting
- Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machines
- Clustering with k-Means and hierarchical methods
You’ll build, evaluate, and finetune these models, laying a strong foundation for advanced topics.
4. Deep Learning and Neural Networks Deep learning powers applications from self-driving cars to voice assistants. You’ll learn about neurons and multi-layer perceptrons, then build neural networks from scratch using TensorFlow and PyTorch. Topics include convolutional neural networks for image processing, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and LSTMs for sequence data, attention mechanisms and Transformers for natural language, and techniques to interpret model behaviour. These lessons serve as your deep learning course, deep learning tutorial, and neural networks training rolled into one.
5. Time-Series Analysis & Recommender Systems For forecasting and personalization, time-series and recommender systems are essential. You’ll explore moving averages, exponential smoothing, ARIMA models, and interpolation techniques. You’ll also build recommender systems using collaborative and content-based filtering, thereby understanding both the algorithm and the business context.
6. Advanced Machine Learning Specializations Once you’ve mastered the core, you can choose advanced machine learning courses and specializations in areas such as:
- Applied machine learning: Practical implementations, deployment, and model monitoring.
- Reinforcement learning: Building agents that learn through reward maximization.
- Natural language processing: In-depth look at language models, GPT-style transformers, and generative AI.
- Computer vision: Object detection, segmentation, and generative adversarial networks.
These modules act as both an advanced machine learning course and a deep learning specialization, helping you stand out in a crowded job market.
