Tools Overview

The following are the tools that are covered in Complete Machine Learning Package. They are popular tools that most machine learning engineers and data scientists need in one way or another and day to day.

  • Python is a high level programming language that has got a lot of popularity in the data community and with the rapid growth of the libraries and frameworks, this is a right programming language to do ML.

  • NumPy is a scientific computing tool used for array or matrix operations.

  • Pandas is a great and simple tool for analyzing and manipulating data from a variety of different sources.

  • Matplotlib is a comprehensive data visualization tool used to create static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.

  • Seaborn is another data visualization tool built on top of Matplotlib which is pretty simple to use.

  • Scikit-Learn: Instead of building machine learning models from scratch, Scikit-Learn makes it easy to use classical models in a few lines of code. This tool is adapted by almost the whole of the ML community and industries, from the startups to the big techs.

  • TensorFlow and Keras for deep learning: TensorFlow is a popular deep learning framework used for building models suitable for different fields such as Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. Keras is a high level neural network API that makes it easy to design deep learning models. TensorFlow and Keras have a great community and ecosystem that include tools like TensorBoard, TF Datasets, TensorFlow Lite, TensorFlow Extended, TensorFlow Hub, TensorFlow.js, TensorFlow GNN, and much more.

Further Machine Learning Resources

Machine Learning community is very vibrant. Complete Machine Learning Package can get you started, but it's not enough. Fortunately, there are many faboulous learning resources, some of which are paid or freely available. Here is a list of courses that are often recommended by many people. Note that they are not listed in an order they are to be taken.

Courses

  • Machine Learning by Coursera: This course was taught by Andrew Ng. It is one of the most popular machine learning courses, it has been taken by over 4M of people. The course focuses more about the fundamentals of machine learning techniques and algorithms. It is free on Coursera.

  • Deep Learning Specialization: Also tought by Andrew Ng., Deep Learning Specialization is also a foundations based course. It teaches a decent foundations of major deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. The full course can be audited on Coursera, or watch freely on Youtube.

  • MIT Intro to Deep Learning: This course provide the foundations of deep learning in resonably short period of time. Each lecture is one hour or less, but the materials are still the best in classs. Check the course page here, and lecture videos here.

  • MIT Introduction to Data-Centric AI: This is the first-ever course on DCAI. This class covers algorithms to find and fix common issues in ML data and to construct better datasets, concentrating on data used in supervised learning tasks like classification. All material taught in this course is highly practical, focused on impactful aspects of real-world ML applications, rather than mathematical details of how particular models work. You can take this course to learn practical techniques not covered in most ML classes, which will help mitigate the “garbage in, garbage out” problem that plagues many real-world ML applications. Check out the course page here, lecture videos here, and lab assignments here.

  • NYU Deep Learning Spring 2021: Taught at NYU by Yann LeCun, Alfredo Canziani, this course is one of the most creative courses out there. The materials are presented in amazing way. Check the lecture videos here, and the course repo here.

  • CS231N: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition by Stanford: CS231N is one of the best deep learning and computer vision courses. The 2017 version was taught by Fei-Fei Li, Justin Johnson and Serena Yeung. The 2016 version was taught by Fei-Fei, Johnson and Andrej Karpathy. See 2017 lecture videos here, and other materials here.

  • CS224N: Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning by Stanford: If you are interested in Natural Language Processing, this is a great course to take. It is taught by Christopher Manning, one of the world class NLP stars. See the lecture videos here.

  • Practical Deep Learning for Coders by fast.ai: This is also an intensive deep learning course that cover the whole spectrum of deep learning architectures and techniques. The lecture videos and other resources such as notebooks are the course page.

  • Machine Learning Engineering for Production (MLOps) Specialization: Taught by Andrew Ng., Laurence Moroney, and Robert Crowe, this is one of the best ML engineering course. It teaches how to design end to end machine learning production systems, building efficient data and modelling pipelines, and deploying models in production. You can find the course on Coursera and other course materials on Github.

  • Full Stack Deep Learning: While the majority of machine learning courses focuses on modelling, this course focuses on shipping machine learning systems. It teaches how to design machine learning projects, data management(storage, access, processing, versioning, and labeling), training, debugging, and deploying machine learning models. See 2021 version here and 2019 here. You can also skim through the project showcases to see the kind of the courses outcomes through learners projects.
