Support Vector Machines ( SVM ) are one of the most powerful machine learning models around, and this topic has been one that students have requested ever since I started making courses. These days, everyone seems to be talking about deep learning , but in fact there was a time when support vector machines were seen as superior to neural networks. One of the things you’ll learn about in this course is that a support vector machine actually is a neural network, and they essentially look identical if you were to draw a diagram. The toughest obstacle to overcome when you’re learning about support vector machines is that they are very theoretical. This theory very easily scares a lot of people away, and it might feel like learning about support vector machines is beyond your ability. Not so! In this course, we take a very methodical, step-by-step approach to build up all the theory you need to understand how the SVM really works. We are going to use Logistic Regression as our starting point, which is one of the very first things you learn about as a student of machine learning. So if you want to understand this course, just have a good intuition about Logistic Regression, and by extension have a good understanding of the geometry of lines, planes, and hyperplanes. This course will cover the critical theory behind SVMs: Linear SVM derivation Hinge loss (and its relation to the Cross-Entropy loss) Quadratic programming (and Linear programming review) Slack variables Lagrangian Duality Kernel SVM (nonlinear SVM) Polynomial Kernels, Gaussian Kernels, Sigmoid Kernels, and String Kernels Learn how to achieve an infinite-dimensional feature expansion Projected Gradient Descent SMO (Sequential Minimal Optimization) RBF Networks (Radial Basis Function Neural Networks) Support Vector Regression (SVR) Multiclass Classification For those of you who are thinking, " theory is not for me ", there’s lots of material in this course for you too! In this course, there will be not just one, but two full sections devoted to just the practical aspects of how to make effective use of the SVM. We’ll do end-to-end examples of real, practical machine learning applications , such as: Image recognition Spam detection Medical diagnosis Regression analysis For more advanced students, there are also plenty of coding exercises where you will get to try different approaches to implementing SVMs. These are implementations that you won't find anywhere else in any other course. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you in class! "If you can't implement it, you don't understand it" Or as the great physicist Richard Feynman said: "What I cannot create, I do not understand". My courses are the ONLY courses where you will learn how to implement machine learning algorithms from scratch Other courses will teach you how to plug in your data into a library, but do you really need help with 3 lines of code? After doing the same thing with 10 datasets, you realize you didn't learn 10 things. You learned 1 thing, and just repeated the same 3 lines of code 10 times... Suggested Prerequisites: Calculus Matrix Arithmetic / Geometry Basic Probability Logistic Regression Python coding: if/else, loops, lists, dicts, sets Numpy coding: matrix and vector operations, loading a CSV file WHAT ORDER SHOULD I TAKE YOUR COURSES IN?: Check out the lecture "Machine Learning and AI Prerequisite Roadmap" (available in the FAQ of any of my courses, including the free Numpy course)

      They say we live in a world where machines are getting smarter and people dumber! While the jury's still out on whether we are getting dumber, there is no doubt that machines are getting smarter. They are increasingly able to do things we always thought were too vast and complex for anyone but the smartest humans. Intelligence is no longer the exclusive domain of human beings.  Computers are increasingly outsmarting the world's best professionals in areas as diverse as the most complex multi player games, the most difficult medical diagnoses and the most challenging legal problems, to name but three. At the heart of this revolution in 'artificial intelligence' lies machine learning. It's changing every field, everyday. None of us are left untouched. It therefore essential for all of us to understand what machine learning is, why it is becoming so critical and fundamental, and how machines learn. This course takes you through all of this in a simple, easy to understand manner. So whether you plan to engage with machine learning professionally - as a technologist, data scientist or business professional; or whether you are just a layperson interested in understanding what the big deal is, this course is for you!

                    Given the constantly increasing amounts of data they're faced with, programmers and data scientists have to come up with better solutions to make machines smarter and reduce manual work along with finding solutions to the obstacles faced in between. Python comes to the rescue to craft better solutions and process them effectively. This comprehensive 2-in-1 course teaches you how to perform different machine learning tasks along with fixing common machine learning problems you face in your day-to-day tasks. You will learn how to use labeled datasets to classify objects or predict future values, so that you can provide more accurate and valuable analysis. You will also use unlabelled datasets to do segmentation and clustering, so that you can separate a large dataset into sensible groups. Further to get a complete hold on the technology, you will work with tools using which you can build predictive models in Python. This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible. In the first course, Getting Started with Machine Learning in Python , you will learn how to use labeled datasets to classify objects or predict future values, so that you can provide more accurate and valuable analysis. You will then use unlabelled datasets to do segmentation and clustering, so that you can separate a large dataset into sensible groups. You will also learn to understand and estimate the value of your dataset. Next, you will learn how to clean data for your application, and how to recognize which machine learning task you are dealing with. The second course, Building Predictive Models with Machine Learning and Python , will introduce you to tools with which you can build predictive models with Python, the core of a Data Scientist's toolkit. Through some really interesting examples, the course will take you through a variety of challenges: predicting the value of a house in Boston, the batting average of a baseball player, their survival chances had they been on the Titanic, or any other number of other interesting problems. By the end of this course, you will be able to take the Python machine learning toolkit and apply it to your own projects to build and deploy machine learning models in just a few lines of code.
