Kirjoitettu - Viimeisin muokkaus

The world is in desperate need of data scientists. Virtually all businesses around the world need data scientists for the growth of their business, but right now, there are not enough to meet demand.

Data scientists can work in any establishment and help them generate data, and then analyze it for relevant decision making. Many data scientists work as freelancers, and are highly sought after due to the importance of the work.

Becoming a data scientist demands a lot from you. You have to be good with statistics and probability, and must have the ability to think outside the box in order to offer solutions to business challenges. Our intent in putting this piece together is to help equip you with the relevant materials to get you into this interesting but challenging field.

We have put together a list of free courses on machine learning, neural networks, algorithms, and AI that will be helpful to you in gaining mastery over them. We selected relevant courses that will help data scientists, and removed links that were redundant at the time of compiling these courses. These are just a few relevant and interesting courses among the numerous online possibilities.

You are going to be coming across many videos as you read down, and all these videos are linked from a course known as Neural Networks for Machine Learning, tutored by Geoffrey Hinton, a professor of computer science department at the University of Toronto. These videos were created for a wider course taught on Coursera, where they are in high demand.

There are lots of things to learn from Neural Networks for Machine Learning. This course is going to help you understand artificial networks, and how they are being used for machine learning, as applied to image segmentation, object and speech recognition, modelling language and human motion, and more. The courses emphasize both the basics of algorithms, and the practical strategies needed to get them to work properly. It is primarily made for an intermediate level learner that is comfortable with calculus, as well as having some experience in programming (e.g, Python).
