Re: [BangPypers] Resource for ML

I can vouch for Coursera's ML courses by University of Washington.

It gives you a brief overview of the possibilities ML presents in the
foundations course - predictive models using regression,  document
classification, recommender systems in the very first course - good for
whetting your appetite with a black box approach. The next courses delve
deep into each example, be it Regression, or Classification - with generous
doses of math(some of it optional).
They use jupyter notebooks and have adapted to present solutions in
scikit-learn apart from the proprietary stuff they initially started off
with because one of the instructors was a founder of an AI and ML start-up
that they tried promoting  ( Maybe you've heard of Dato, now goes by the
name of Turi - acquired by Apple).

It should give you a good, firm grasp on the basics and enough to keep you
busy for a while.

I find Learn Data Science very good place to start, esp. for the beginners.

Hello,
while not having finished Andrew Ng's coursera course (yet), I started it
and like it, too. I don't think it's an disadvantage that it's Matlab (or
it's open source counterpart, Octave) - based (and I'm much more proficient
in Python than in Matlab).
Thanks to Abhinav and Harsh for the other recommendations.
Cheers,
Nenad

I collected some ML resources for inter hostel data analytic competition
here https://github.com/Azad-Hall/data-analytics

Other the Andrew ng's course, Caltech's "Learning from Data" (
http://work.caltech.edu/telecourse.html) course is really good for the
theoretical foundations of ML>
