    About the Course

    Do you have data and wonder what it can tell you? Do you need a deeper understanding of the core ways in which machine learning can
    improve your business? Do you want to be able to converse with specialists about anything from regression and classification to deep learning
    and recommender systems? In this course, you will get hands-on experience with machine learning from a series of practical case-studies. At
    the end of the first course you will have studied how to predict house prices based on house-level features, analyze sentiment from user
    reviews, retrieve documents of interest, recommend products, and search for images. Through hands-on practice with thes...

    Very good overview of ML. The GraphLab api wasn't that bad, and also it was very wise of the instructors to allow the use of other ML packages. Overall i enjoyed it very much and also leaned very much

    Great course! Emily and Carlos teach this class in a very interest way. They try to let student understand machine learning by some case study. That worked well on me. I like this course very much.

    Very good introduction to machine learning with good examples.

    Some questions in the quiz could be rephrased to avoid multiple possible interpretations.

    I like the GraphLab coding,and this course is an intro, not too much details, if you want to go further, better take the other courseras in this class.

    This course is very useful for me as a ML beginner. The way they teach is very interesting and I can do some experiments at once. I like this course!

    I enjoyed the course.

    I wish it had more machine data driven models to to address more industrial type problems, for instance Predictive maintenance.

    The course was OK, but I would introduce more about scikit-learn rather than a library that can only be installed in MacOS or Linux in an easier way

    That's a good course overall, but the implementation is too much depend on graphlab. It would be nicer if the instructors switch to use scikit-learn

    It was more about learning DATO then any insight. However I understand that this course is good motivator for beginners, but was very boring for me.

    A nice intro to ML foundations. Will enroll into the follow up courses from this specialization.

    Using python2 and graphlab was a bit of a turn off.

    A good introduction to ML applications, but not as detailed and thorough as I expected. I'm looking forward to the following of the specialization.

    It is a very good course to start in machine learning. I liked it. But I think it need more details in Graphlab and how it is really works inside.

    The turicreate vs graphlab gap from the videos and the notebooks are confusing and sometimes frustrating. Though it is a very nicely made course.

    This is the bets course to learn ML as it teaches you through project base learning which most of the courses don't do. It's really a nice course

    Deep learning session is a bit unclear in that it doesn't give a pratical example of how a simple Nueral network can be mapped to a deep-feature.

    Fantastic way of teaching. Only thing that I felt uncomfortable is that practical videos are old and mentioned graphlab instead of turicreate.

    Provides a good overview of the machine learning branches. Makes sense to approach it as a black box and then take deep dives in later series.

    The course is well structured with a mix of theory and python hands -on. Outdated python packages are used though in the hands-on section.
