Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree

Machine learning represents a key evolution in the fields of computer science, data analysis, software engineering, and artificial intelligence.

This program will teach you how to become a machine learning engineer, and apply predictive models to massive data sets in fields like finance, healthcare, education, and more.

This program will equip you with key skills that will prepare you to fill roles with companies seeking machine learning experts (or to introduce machine learning techniques to their organizations). Machine learning is literally everywhere, and is often at work even when we don’t realize it. Google Translate, Siri, and Facebook News Feeds are just a few popular examples of machine learning’s omnipresence. The ability to develop machines and systems that automatically improve, puts machine learning at the absolute forefront of virtually any field that relies on data. Prerequisites and Requirements:

• Intermediate Python programming knowledge, of the sort gained through the Introduction to Programming Nanodegree, other introductory programming courses or programs, or additional real-world software development experience. Including:
  • Strings, numbers, and variables
  • Statements, operators, and expressions
  • Lists, tuples, and dictionaries
  • Conditions, loops
  • Procedures, objects, modules, and libraries
  • Troubleshooting and debugging
  • Research & documentation
  • Problem solving
  • Algorithms and data structures
    
    
• Intermediate statistical knowledge, of the sort gained through any of Udacity’s introductory statistics courses. Including:
  • Populations, samples
  • Mean, median, mode
  • Standard error
  • Variation, standard deviations
  • Normal distribution
