Started working through the Coursera Machine Learning course By Andrew Ng. I’ve always wanted to understand ML better, and this seemed like the ideal opportunity to actually do it, especially as I might have some work coming up using ML.

So far, I’m very impressed, very clear presentation style and he does a good job of explaining the fundamentals and maths (which is good as I’m pretty rusty at maths!) while still keeping it fairly concise - my main issue with learning from video is often that it “waffles” a lot and I could get the same knowledge from text much quicker, but it doesn’t feel like that here.

I may switch to the deep learning specialisation or try to get my hands dirty with a more hands-on course after I understand the basic concepts but we will see, I’m actually enjoying relearning some maths more than I expected to!
