Machine Learning is Fun! What is machine learning? Machine learning is the idea that there are generic algorithms that can tell you something interesting about a set of data without you having to write any custom code specific to the problem. Instead of writing code, you feed data to the generic algorithm and it builds its own logic based on the data. For example, one kind of algorithm is a classification algorithm. “Machine learning” is an umbrella term covering lots of these kinds of generic algorithms. Two kinds of Machine Learning Algorithms You can think of machine learning algorithms as falling into one of two main categories — supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Supervised Learning Let’s say you are a real estate agent. To help your trainees (and maybe free yourself up for a vacation), you decide to write a little app that can estimate the value of a house in your area based on it’s size, neighborhood, etc, and what similar houses have sold for. This is called supervised learning. return price

Machine Learning Exercises In Python, Part 1 This post is part of a series covering the exercises from Andrew Ng's machine learning class on Coursera. The original code, exercise text, and data files for this post are available here. Part 1 - Simple Linear RegressionPart 2 - Multivariate Linear RegressionPart 3 - Logistic RegressionPart 4 - Multivariate Logistic RegressionPart 5 - Neural NetworksPart 6 - Support Vector MachinesPart 7 - K-Means Clustering & PCAPart 8 - Anomaly Detection & Recommendation One of the pivotal moments in my professional development this year came when I discovered Coursera. This blog post will be the first in a series covering the programming exercises from Andrew's class. While I can explain some of the concepts involved in this exercise along the way, it's impossible for me to convey all the information you might need to fully comprehend it. Examining The Data In the first part of exercise 1, we're tasked with implementing simple linear regression to predict profits for a food truck. data.describe()

Deep Learning Course ⇢ François Fleuret You can find here the materials for the EPFL course EE-559 “Deep Learning”. These documents are under heavy development, in particular due to pytorch updates.

How to get started with machine learning? Contrary to the other advice around here, I would strongly advise NOT taking a course. I think it is a good idea at some point, but it is not the first thing you should be doing. The very first thing you should do is play! Identify a dataset you are interested in and get the entire machine learning pipeline up and running for it. Here's how I would go about it. 1) Get Jupyter up and running. 2) Choose a dataset. I wouldn't collect my own data first thing. And don't go with a neural net first thing, even though it is currently in vogue. 3) Write a classifier for it. For this step, let scikit-learn be your guide. 4) Now you've built out the supervised machine learning pipeline all the way through! 4a) Experiment with different models: Bayes' nets, random forests, ensembling, hidden Markov models, and even unsupervised learning models such as Guassian mixture models and clustering. I hope this helps.

MIT 6.S094: Deep Learning for Self-Driving Cars A Visual Introduction to Machine Learning Finding better boundaries Let's revisit the 73-m elevation boundary proposed previously to see how we can improve upon our intuition. Clearly, this requires a different perspective. By transforming our visualization into a histogram, we can better see how frequently homes appear at each elevation. While the highest home in New York is 73m, the majority of them seem to have far lower elevations. Your first fork A decision tree uses if-then statements to define patterns in data. For example, if a home's elevation is above some number, then the home is probably in San Francisco. In machine learning, these statements are called forks, and they split the data into two branches based on some value. That value between the branches is called a split point. Tradeoffs Picking a split point has tradeoffs. Look at that large slice of green in the left pie chart, those are all the San Francisco homes that are misclassified. The best split Recursion

CS446: Fall 2017 - RELATE Course Description The goal of Machine Learning is to build computer systems that can adapt and learn from their experience. This course will study the theory and application of learning methods that have proved valuable and successful in practical applications. We review the theory of machine learning in order to get a good understanding of the basic issues in this area, and present the main paradigms and techniques needed to obtain successful performance in application areas such as natural language and text understanding, speech recognition, computer vision, data mining, adaptive computer systems and others. The main body of the course will review several supervised and (semi/un)supervised learning approaches. Topics to be covered include: Required text Text: Kevin Murphy, Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective, MIT Press Exams Exam will be in class exam with 75 minutes.

How to get started with Machine Learning on Bluemix There is a lot of talk about artificial intelligence (AI) these days, especially since Google’s AlphaGo beat a Go world champion. Companies like IBM are using this technology already in a number of products. For example on Bluemix developers can easily consume cognitive Watson services like speech or image recognition that use machine and deep learning under the cover. While these Watson services are very easy to use for developers, sometimes you want to use machine learning for other scenarios. Since this technology looks so promising and powerful I’m trying to learn machine learning. However I found the open source framework Scikit Learn which seems powerful and at the same time it provides relative simple samples to get started. You can run this sample easily via Bluemix. One nice thing about Scikit Learn is that it provides some sample data for your first steps in machine learning. The core difference to classic programming is that you don’t code any longer rules.

While traditionally Python has been the go-to language for machine learning, nowadays neural networks can run in any language, including JavaScript! The web ecosystem has made a lot of progress in recent times and although JavaScript and Node.js are still less performant than Python and Java, they are now powerful enough to handle many machine learning problems. Web languages also have the advantage of being super accessible - all you need to run a JavaScript ML project is your web browser. Most JavaScript machine learning libraries are fairly new and still in development, but they do exist and are ready for you to try them. 1.
