This area is not something new to me since my specialization on master&#8217;s degree was <em>Intelligent Information Systems<\/em> which covered this area pretty well. By doing this course I wanted to get another point of view on that. Now I can definitely say that prof. Andrew Ng does a good job explaining the material presented on the course. He starts with <em>cost function<\/em>, <em>gradient descent<\/em> which are the foundation of Machine Learning. Then he explains such topics as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>classification (with multiclass classifications),<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>logistic regression,<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>neural networks with backpropagation,<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>bias and variance,<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>SVM,<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>clustering,<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>anomaly detection,<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>photo OCR.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Everything is presented with real file examples. Students are required to write some code with the elements explained in each part in Matlab or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gnu.org\/software\/octave\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Octave<\/strong><\/a> which are supported by scripts that simplify the way of submitting answers. If there is a one thing I could complain about it would be the out of date scripts that for newer version of Octaves require some patches which can be easily found on course&#8217;s wiki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I&#8217;ve finished Machine Learning course on Coursera and I think I can recommend it to anyone who wants to start doing something in this field.
