Assignments
To successfully complete the course, you will need to complete the required assignments
and receive a score of 70% or higher for the course.

In this era of big data, there is an increasing need for algorithms that can analyze and identify
patterns and connections in that data. Machine learning enables us to create systems that
improve automatically with experience. Machine learning is used in countless real-world
applications including robotic control, data mining, bioinformatics, and medical diagnostics.

This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning and statistical pattern
recognition. You will get a deeper understanding of machine learning algorithms as you learn
to build them from scratch. You will gain the theoretical and practical skills you need to apply
machine learning to real-world problems.

Understand, design and implement foundational supervised machine learning

algorithms, such as linear and logistic regression, batch/stochastic gradient descent,
generalized linear models, generative learning algorithms, kernel methods and support
vector machines.
Solve for unclassified or unlabeled data with unsupervised machine learning algorithms.
Build your own k-Means clustering, expectation maximization algorithm. Perform
principle and independent component analysis to better understand your data.
Grasp foundational aspects of deep learning algorithms and neural networks.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

Prior to enrolling in your first course in the AI Professional Program, you must complete a
short application (15 min) to demonstrate:

Proficiency in Python: Coding assignments will be in Python. Some assignments will

require familiarity with basic Linux command line workflows.
College Calculus and Linear Algebra: You should be comfortable taking (multivariable)
derivatives and understand matrix/vector notation and operations.
Probability Theory: You should be familiar with basic probability distributions
(Continuous, Gaussian, Bernoulli, etc.) and be able to define concepts for both
continuous and discrete random variables: Expectation, independence, probability
distribution functions, and cumulative distribution functions.
