How does machine learning work, when can you use it, and what is the difference between AI and machine learning? They’re all covered. Gain skills in this hugely in-demand and influential field, and discover why machine learning is for everyone!

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.

Designing Autonomous AI (Coursera)

When children learn how to hit a baseball, they don’t start with fastballs. Their coaches begin with the basics: how to grip the handle of the bat, where to put their feet and how to keep their eyes on the ball. Similarly, an autonomous AI system needs a subject matter expert (SME) to break a complex process or problem into easier tasks that give the AI important clues about how to find a solution faster.
