Machine Learning Roadmap for Beginners

This document outlines a roadmap for machine learning for absolute beginners that takes approximately 2 years to complete. It involves first taking an introductory AI course, then learning linear algebra and statistics over 2 months, learning Python over 1-2 months, doing a deep dive into machine learning over 3 months, and finally practicing and learning advanced machine learning concepts and algorithms over another 3 months. Recommended courses and resources are provided for each stage of the roadmap.

Machine Learning
Roadmap For
Absolute Beginners
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED...
The time frame given for each stage assumes that you put in about 8-10
hours/week. If you can spare more time, you might finish the entire
roadmap sooner. However, everyone learns at their own pace and feel
confident to take more time in understanding certain concepts! Learning
is a continuous process.

Take a basic AI course


2 WEEKS
The first step involves taking a basic AI course, one which does not
involve any coding or math heavy content. At this point you want to
build a solid understanding of what artificial intelligence and.
machine learning is. You should also have a basic idea of the
subfields in machine learning and what each of them mean.

Recommended resources:

COURSERA: AI FOR EVERYONE


EDX: AI FOR EVERYONE BY IBM

Learn linear algebra & stats


2 MONTHS
The second step involves learning the necessary math involved with
machine learning. At this stage, you will focus a lot of statistics,
linear algebra and probability. I've split the resources into basic,
intermediate & advanced levels:

Beginner

UDACITY: INTRO TO STATISTICS

KHAN ACADEMY: LINEAR ALGEBRA

Intermediate

COURSERA: MATH FOR MACHINE LEARNING


Advanced

STANFORD BOOK: ELEMENTARY STATS

MIT: MATHEMATICS OF MACHINE LEARNING

CREATED BY SMITHA KOLAN


Learn Python
1-2 MONTHS
The third stage involves learning Python programming. Python is
the most popular languages in Tech currently, especially within
machine learning and data science. It is also one of the best
languages for complete beginners to pick up. Here are some of the
best Python resources to learn it:

FREECODECAMP: PYTHON FOR EVERYONE

COURSERA: UNI OF MICHIGAN COURSE FOR PYTHON


(INCLUDES DATA STRUCTURES AND BASIC DATA
EXTRACTION & DATABASES)

Deep dive into machine learning


3 MONTHS
The forth stage is the deep dive into machine learning with all the
math and coding that comes with it.

DUKE UNIVERSITY: INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE


LEARNING

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON: MACHINE LEARNING


SPECIALIZATION

Practice + learn advanced ML


3 MONTHS
At this final stage, it's time to learn more advanced concepts within
machine learning like deep learning. It's also the best time to pick
up more advanced machine learning algorithms.
