Course Overview

Machine Learning is a highly demanded skill in the 21st Century. ML is the application of Artificial Intelligence  that provides systems with the ability to learn and improve from experience, without any explicit programming and human intervention. It is the study of computer algorithms that automatically improve through experience. ML has now become an integral part of our lives, and data science and AI professionals are looking to upskill in this. In Coursera’s Machine Learning training course, you will learn the most effective ML techniques and gain experience in their practical applications with precision. 

The Coursera Machine Learning programme teaches the extensive theories behind Machine Learning so that you can quickly learn to apply the techniques to new problems. Besides Machine learning, this course also provides an introduction to data-mining, artificial neural networks, logistic regression, and statistical pattern recognition. 

This Machine Learning certification course is offered by Stanford University and is taught by one of the top educators of Stanford. It takes approximately 60 hours to complete this course. It has 18 modules rife with pre-recorded online lectures, readings and practice exercises for self-evaluation.
