Machine Learning

In September of 2017 I decided enroll in a machine learning course provided by Stanford Online through Coursera. Today, I finished the course and am happy to have went through with it.

I certainly know a lot more about machine learning now than I did before. I also have an opinion (as of now - but could certainly change in time). My opinion is that it is important for a company to know how machine learning could/would have an impact on your company, but it is likely that you will be renting an ML/AI instance from a company alike that of Amazon, than simply building an end-to-end solution yourself.

You can view my course completion certificate here. The certificate does not show my grade. I am happy to report my grade of 96.1% though.

Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. Machine learning is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. Many researchers also think it is the best way to make progress towards human-level AI.
