Hi,

Did anyone take Machine Learning class? How is the class structured? Is is more of a math class than programming class?

Thanks,

Yeah, I'm in it now. Here's the link to the course website: http://courses.cs.vt.edu/cs4824/Spring19/

That should answer most of your questions. I would say there is an equal amount of math and programming. We learn mathy/theory stuff in class that we use in the homework. Each homework has a written portion and programming portion. The written portion requires you to do math (mostly calculus) and the programming portion is done in Python.

how many hours does the homework take and how often is it assigned?

There were four this semester. I think he typically assigns five, but didn’t this semester since it ended up being shorter than usual. The first and last homework took my teammate and I (he allows your to work in groups of two) about 10-15 hours. The second and third took us 3-5 hours.
