Python is the preferred choice of developers, engineers, data scientists, and hobbyists everywhere. It is a great scripting language that can power your applications and provide great speed, safety, and scalability. By exposing Python as a series of simple recipes, you can gain insight into specific language features in a particular context. Having a tangible context helps make the language or standard library features easier to understand. This video comes with over 100 recipes on the latest version of Python.

What is machine learning / ai? How to lean machine learning in python? Good questions here is a point to start searching for an answer. In the world of today and especially tomorrow machine learning will be the driving force of the economy. No matter who you are, an entrepreneur or an employee, machine learning will be on your agenda.

Do you wish to be a data scientist but don't know where to begin? Want to implement statistics for data science? Want to get acquainted with R programs? Want to learn about the logic involved in computing statistics? If so, then this is the course for you.

In this course, you will learn what hyperparameters are, what Genetic Algorithm is, and what hyperparameter optimization is. In this course, you will apply Genetic Algorithm to optimize the performance of Support Vector Machines and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks. Hyperparameter optimization will be done on two datasets, a regression dataset for the prediction of cooling and heating loads of buildings, and a classification dataset regarding the classification of emails into spam and non-spam. The SVM and MLP will be applied on the datasets without optimization and compare their results to after their optimization. By the end of this course, you will have learnt how to code Genetic Algorithm in Python and how to optimize your Machine Learning algorithms for maximal performance.

As of January 2017, MIT started offering a variety of course in deep learning.

Finally, a comprehensive hands-on machine learning course with specific focus on classification based models for the investment community and passionate investors. In the past few years, there has been a massive adoption and growth in the use of data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning to find alpha. However, information on and application of machine learning to investment are scarce. This course has been designed to address that. It is meant to spark your creative juices and get you started in this space.

This was an awesome "after-intro" for machine learning. I was actually really happy to have gained the insight from Hinton directly, since he provided some really intuitive arguments for a lot of the modern techniques in neural network design and training. I wish there was a bit more exposure to tools, but I believe the focus was to get students who already are exposed to tools and give them a "boost" of knowledge. For example, I currently know of no framework that allows for quick design of RBMs. It would be interesting to at least take a look at tools for this and get exposure to frameworks that his team uses.

Demand for technological, social and emotional, and higher cognitive skills will rise by 2030. How will workers and organizations adapt? Skill shifts have accompanied the introduction of new technologies in the workplace since at least the Industrial Revolution, but adoption of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will mark an acceleration over the shifts of even the recent past. The need for some skills, such as technological as well as social and emotional skills, will rise, even as the demand for others, including physical and manual skills, will fall. These changes will require workers everywhere to deepen their existing skill sets or acquire new ones. Companies, too, will need to rethink how work is organized within their organizations.

Apple recently announced their partnership with IBM to leverage IBM's Watson service to train machine learning models for CoreML. So that mean you now can build apps that leverage Watson machine learning models on iPhone and iPad, even when your device is offline. Your apps can quickly analyze images, accurately classify visual content, and easily train models using Watson Services. With this video series you will learn to onboard with not only pre-trained Watson models but customize and train models that continuously learn over time. In Apple's own words "You can build apps that seamlessly integrate with IBM Cloud using the IBM Cloud Developer Console for Apple. This allows you to quickly tap into Watson Services for Core ML, as well as other IBM cloud services including authentication, data, analytics, and more. The console provides a catalog of starter kits designed for common frameworks that integrate with IBM Cloud."

As the buzz around data science grows every day, there is a slew of self-taught professionals who have kick-started the machine learning journey with Andrew Ng's online courses. Many enthusiasts are gravitating towards the computer science field. But if one wants to pursue a career in Machine Learning, they need to be familiar with statistics and linear algebra. With computer science and ML applications becoming more pervasive in everyday life, people from a non-technical background are also interested in joining the field. In this article, we have discussed in-depth roles a person from non-tech background can explore in the data science/AI field.
