New Coursera Series: Machine Learning for Everyone

While there are so many how-to courses for hands-on techies, there are practically none that also serve business leaders – a striking omission, since success with machine learning relies on a very particular business leadership practice just as much as it relies on adept number crunching. Rather than a hands-on training, this specialization serves both business leaders and burgeoning data scientists alike with expansive, holistic coverage of the state-of-the-art techniques and business-level best practices. There are no exercises involving coding or the use of machine learning software. Brought to you by industry leader Eric Siegel – a winner of teaching awards when he was a professor at Columbia University – this specialization stands out as one of the most thorough, engaging, and surprisingly accessible on the subject of machine learning. Across this range of topics, this specialization keeps things action-packed with case study examples, software demos, stories of poignant mistakes, and stimulating assessments.
