Chapter 1: What is Machine Learning?
In this chapter, we'll define machine learning and its relation to data science and artificial intelligence. Then, we'll unpack important machine learning jargon and end with the machine learning workflow for building models.

Chapter 2: Machine Learning Models
Now that you know the basics of machine learning, let's dive a little bit deeper. At the end of this chapter, you will know the different types of machine learning, as well as how to evaluate and improve your models.

Chapter 3: Deep Learning
In this chapter, we'll unpack deep learning beginning with neural networks. Next, we'll take a closer look at two common use-cases for deep learning: computer vision and natural language processing. We'll wrap up the course discussing the limits and dangers of machine learning.
