About the Course

Get ready to dive into the world of Machine Learning (ML) by using Python! This course is for you whether you want to advance your Data Science career or get started in Machine Learning and Deep Learning. This course will begin with a gentle introduction to Machine Learning and what it is, with topics like supervised vs unsupervised learning, linear & non-linear regression, simple regression and more. You will then dive into classification techniques using different classification algorithms, namely K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), decision trees, and Logistic Regression. You’ll also learn about the importance and different types of clustering such as k-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN. With all the many concepts you will learn, a big emphasis will be placed on hands-on learning. You will work with Python libraries like SciPy and scikit-learn and apply your knowledge through labs. In the final project you will demonstrate your skills by building, evaluating and comparing several Machine Learning models using different algorithms. By the end of this course, you will have job ready skills to add to your resume and a certificate in machine learning to prove your competency....

I'm extremely excited with what I have learnt so far. As a newbie in Machine Learning, the exposure gained will serve as the much needed foundation to delve into its application to real life problems.

I think IBM Watson site has been updated after this course was last updated. Therefore, there are some differences in the final project guidance videos and actual website.

A really great course with loads of hands on coding experience. But some concepts need to be explained more deeply. Really happy to complete this & receive a certificate !

Good stuff. Useful final project. More in depth research required if you want to actually learn how these algorithms work though - outside the scope of the course I guess.

Good course. I think the final project could be more interesting even but the peer review has to be optimized such that it avoids unfair ratings, either for good or bad.

I think more practice exercise with more variety in difficulty would be really help - as well as links to resources to practice key items (like nesting loops in python)

It is one of the best courses for understanding the basics of Machine Learning. Moreover, it also includes hands on experience with different classifiers on notebook.

There should be assignments every week, not just quizzes. Too easy to pass this way, not enough practice, at least if you already know the basics of machine learning.

Great hands-on practice with many different modeling methods. A fun final project too. Just has a few technical and typo glitches that keep it from a perfect score.

Good theoretical and mathematical explanation . But the python programming was not explained . We should learn them by our own by reading in the tools in coursera

3.5 stars. Serves its purpose. Skims over much of the important mathematical details. No coding demonstrations other than what you see in the notebooks provided.

The course offers short videos that explains machine learning concisely is quite efficient, and also provides a platform to learners to practice in lab sections.

I found the quality of teaching to be of good standard, however setting up IBM Watson studio and creating a project was very inconvenient and took a lot of time.

Good part: This course provide a lot of concrete designed materials.

Not very good part: the content of videos are too simple, without any theoretical analysis.

This course is great but one needs more time to read through other information sources. An in-depth understanding is critical to get the bigger picture of use.

It was an excellent course. They covered all topics of ML. Practical session was good but need more explanation. That would be very helpful to students.

overall the course is very good and covered the topics in ML, but the coding examples should be explained in a videos to clarify all points in details.

The final project is ill-structured. It is hard to grade because you need to go back and forth in the codes. It makes both doing and grading harder.

The course appears to assume good competency in Python and does not provide much training on Python. This should be highlighted to students upfront.
