Course Introduction
Explore the definitions and history of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Contrast AI and ML, and introduce key approaches such as supervised, unsupervised, genetic algorithms, and neural networks.
Explore linear regression and loss functions, derive the line of best fit by minimizing squared distances, and compare mean squared error, mean absolute error, and mean bias error, polynomial regression.
Use gradient descent to optimize linear regression by adjusting slope and bias, minimizing mean squared error; apply stochastic gradient descent to avoid local minima and approach the global minimum.
Explore genetic algorithms by encoding a knapsack optimization as a binary gene, scoring by item value with a weight penalty, and evolving solutions through selection, reproduction, and mutation over iterations.
Explore free courses, bootcamps, and industry recognized certifications from Cloud Institute on Udemy, plus personalized cloud coaching and live projects to advance your career.
This course will provide you a foundational understanding of machine learning models (logistic regression, multilayer perceptron’s, convolutional neural networks, natural language processing, etc.) as well as demonstrate how these models can solve complex problems in a variety of industries, from medical diagnostics to image recognition to text prediction. In addition, we have designed practice exercises that will give you hands-on experience implementing these data science models on data sets. These practice exercises will teach you how to implement machine learning algorithms with Python, open-source libraries used by leading tech companies in the machine learning field (e.g., Google, NVIDIA, Coca Cola, eBay, Snapchat, Uber, and many more).
