CS229 : Machine Learning - 2020

The flagship "ML" course at Stanford , or to say the most popular Machine Learning course worldwide is CS229. CS229 is Math Heavy and is 🔥, unlike the simplified online version at Coursera, "Machine Learning". I completed the online version as a Freshaman and here I take the CS229 Stanford version. CS229 lectures are now available online as a YouTube playlist CS 229 : Autumn 2018. All in all, we have the videos, slides, notes from the course website to learn the content. Stay truthful, maintain Honor Code and Keep Learning. Learning is a journey!

Course:

This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning and statistical pattern recognition. Topics include: supervised learning (generative/discriminative learning, parametric/non-parametric learning, neural networks, support vector machines); unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, kernel methods); learning theory (bias/variance tradeoffs; VC theory; large margins); reinforcement learning and adaptive control. The course will also discuss recent applications of machine learning, such as to robotic control, data mining, autonomous navigation, bioinformatics, speech recognition, and text and web data processing.

FINAL PROJECT | Past Projects

CS229 gives a lot of importance to Final Project, going through the past projects , I was happy to see the dynamic range of wonderful ideas and application of ML all the way (I have the list - e.g, eg2). Good CS229 projects are either publishable or minor changes to be able to publish the project. NIPS (NeurIPS) , ICML are the ML conferences to show ML works to other people around the world. Here's the CS229 guide to write the final report.
