Introduction to Machine Learning
INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE LEARNING
Hello everyone!
Machine learning is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides machines the ability to learn and improve automatically without being explicitly programmed for each task. The main focus of Machine Learning is to provide algorithms to build and train systems so that they can solve real-world problems.
The first course of the Machine Learning Program provides learners with an overview of Machine Learning and its practical applications. In this course, students will be equipped with additional knowledge of Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Probability Statistics necessary for Machine Learning. You will have the opportunity to explore and refresh your Python programming skills for Machine Learning, one of the most widely used programming languages for modern AI/ML. Through a series of case studies, learners will accumulate the necessary skills and practice in key areas of Machine Learning such as Prediction, Classification, Clustering, Information Retrieval, and Deep Learning with Image Searching.
Wishing you all success in your studies!
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, students will achieve the following standards of knowledge and skills:
- Understand basic ML concepts.
- Comprehend fundamental concepts related to ML in calculus, linear algebra, and probability statistics.
- Review and practice basic Python programming, Python data structures, working with Pandas and Numpy, Classes, and Inheritance.
- Understand and practice ML tools: Sklearn, Jupyter Notebook.
- Grasp basic supervised and unsupervised learning in Machine Learning through case studies.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
To begin, take a few minutes to explore the course and its overall structure. The course consists of 4 sections with 19 lessons. Throughout the lessons and at the end of each section, practical Labs and major assignments (Projects) will help reinforce your understanding and application of the learned theory into real-world problems. For effective learning, continuously enhance your knowledge, never stop learning, research, and create a reasonable study plan to excel in the course.
During the learning period (expected to be 6 weeks), proper allocation of study time is crucial. If you have any questions, connect with a Mentor for assistance.

learning resources
In the present era, each course has various related learning materials, including both printed and online resources. FUNiX Way does not specify a particular learning resource but recommends students choose the most suitable one for themselves. During the learning process from different sources based on personal preferences, students can quickly connect with mentors to get their questions answered. The entire evaluation includes quizzes, exercises, projects, and exams designed, built, and conducted by FUNiX.
FUNiX courses do not mandate specific learning materials, and students can actively seek and learn from any suitable source, including printed books, online learning resources (MOOC), or various websites. The use of such sources is the responsibility of the students, and they must comply with the policies of the source owners, except in cases where they have official collaboration with FUNiX. If assistance is needed, students can contact FUNiX's training department for guidance.
Here are some learning resources for the course that students can refer to. Listing these sources below does not necessarily imply that FUNiX has official cooperation with the owners of the resources: Coursera, tutorialspoint, edX Training, or Udemy.
