Practical Machine Learning Tutorial with Python Intro p.1

(0)

The objective of this course is to give you a holistic understanding of machine learning, covering theory, application, and inner workings of supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning algorithms.

In this series, we’ll be covering linear regression, K Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machines (SVM), flat clustering, hierarchical clustering, and neural networks.

For each major algorithm that we cover, we will discuss the high level intuitions of the algorithms and how they are logically meant to work. Next, we’ll apply the algorithms in code using real world data sets along with a module, such as with Scikit-Learn. Finally, we’ll be diving into the inner workings of each of the algorithms by recreating them in code, from scratch, ourselves, including all of the math involved. This should give you a complete understanding of exactly how the algorithms work, how they can be tweaked, what advantages are, and what their disadvantages are.

In order to follow along with the series, I suggest you have at the very least a basic understanding of Python. If you do not, I suggest you at least follow the Python 3 Basics tutorial until the module installation with pip tutorial. If you have a basic understanding of Python, and the willingness to learn/ask questions, you will be able to follow along here with no issues. Most of the machine learning algorithms are actually quite simple, since they need to be in order to scale to large datasets. Math involved is typically linear algebra, but I will do my best to still explain all of the math. If you are confused/lost/curious about anything, ask in the comments section on YouTube, the community here, or by emailing me. You will also need Scikit-Learn and Pandas installed, along with others that we’ll grab along the way.

Machine learning was defined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel as the “field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.” This means imbuing knowledge to machines without hard-coding it.

  1. What are the prequisites for starting this course?
    Is there any course of Python on Your Channel, so I should learn it first and then jump on to this course?
    P.S- I am complete Beginner

  2. Are there any prequisites to this, or can I just start it if I don't know anything about the Scikit-learn?
    Just note that I do know the basics of python (I learnt from your videos so thanks a lot :)).

  3. Sentdex, I am very new to ML/Python so I was looking for some help. Can you tell me what kind of setup I would need to optimally trade 2 or so pairs of currency? I am looking to build a new machine and the setup I had in mind was as follows: AMD R9 3900x, Gigabyte Aorus Master X570, 1 TB NVME, 64GB DDR4 3600, 850W PSU( to start), RTX 2080ti (single to begin then adding a second in NVLINK). Both CPU and GPU will be cooled in a custom loop. Thank you for your help.

  4. guys does anyone has an idea how to build a machine learning model for data with lesser diversity? meaning, I have data for 5 classes. But those data doesn't have much difference. Difficult to cluster. Can't we train a model for such data?
