Stanford EE104 Introduction to Machine Learning | 2020 | Lecture 5 features

Even though there are many different skills to learn in machine learning it is possible for you to self-teach yourself machine learning. There are many courses available now that will take you from having no knowledge of machine learning to being able to understand and implement the ml algorithms yourself.What are the types of machine learning? First, we will take a closer look at three main types of learning problems in machine learning: supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. Supervised Learning. ... Unsupervised Learning. ... Reinforcement Learning.What is the purpose of machine learning? Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it to learn for themselves.Is machine learning hard to learn? There is no doubt the science of advancing machine learning algorithms through research is difficult. It requires creativity, experimentation and tenacity. Machine learning remains a hard problem when implementing existing algorithms and models to work well for your new application.How long will it take to learn machine learning? Machine Learning is very vast and comprises of a lot of things. Hence, it will take approximately 6 months in total to learn ML If you spend at least 5-6 hours each day. If you have good mathematical and analytical skills 6 months will be sufficient for you.What is the syllabus of machine learning? Computational learning theory, mistake bound analysis, sample complexity analysis, VC dimension, Occam learning, accuracy and confidence boosting. Dimensionality reduction, feature selection and visualization. Clustering, mixture models, k-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, distributional clustering.
