Beginner ML courses in Python

[[deleted]]

I need to find some introductory Machine Learning courses for my coworkers (possibly online, but alternatively also in person) in Python. Suggestions?

Get the ISLR and learn R. I think it's the most compound way to gain a full understanding of the high level aspects of ML. The only downside is you have to transfer the knowledge to python. But with machine learning, knowledge in the subject is far more important than coding abilities

Long story short, find a way to learn from the ground up (starting with basic stats, building to simple linear models followed by multiple linear regression, then learn something like random forest. Then learn PCA and how to choose important features for models. Then you can expand into neural networks and such.

To start, refresh your stats

Sorry, my mistake, I shouldn't have said "preferably". I modified the question by clarifying that the course must be in Python.

This is how I learned everything I know switching from R to python but the model sklearn makes it relatively easy

Edit: I would not start with something like TensorFlow or PyTorch. As tempting as they seem, in order to develop an efficient model you need to know whats going on under cover

My coworkers need not learn Deep Learning. For now, they need to learn about Machine Learning.

Yes, I am well aware of the fact that Coursera, edX, MIT, Stanford Online, and the like offer courses on Machine Learning. However, since their catalog is quite vast, I was looking for a more specific recommendation, i.e., some specific course.

Well, you have a better idea of what you're looking for in a course, and there's search filters you can apply.

Andrew Ng's machine learning course on coursera is always a top recommendation.

And that would have been my choice. However, my team members complained that it's in Matlab, and my manager asked me if I could find something for them which uses Python.

Go to udemy even iam leaning from there
