Google's First Free Machine Learning Course
Google has launched it’s very first machine learning course! It’s completely free and in this video I discuss some of my thoughts on why google created this course as well as what you can expect from it! This machine learning course by Google has been in the works for quite some time now, so it was no surprise to many that it was released this year. One of the main reasons why Google has created this course is to promote its TensorFlow API, which is a popular machine learning and deep learning library. With how big machine learning is going to be in the next decade, Google wants to make sure that it stays on top of the game by ensuring that machine learning engineers use its TensorFlow API.
The course itself is an introductory course to machine learning and covers all the basics really well. The best thing about the course is that it takes on a really practical approach to machine learning, and follows the steps of how you would go about solving a problem with machine learning.
This is something that is pretty rare as most machine learning courses are highly theoretical and lots of developers struggle with learning in this regard. We can also expect other tech giants like facebook come out with a course as well in the future, to promote it’s own pytorch library!
