Machine learning is the study that allows computers to adaptively improve their performance with experience accumulated from the data observed. Our two sister courses teach the most fundamental algorithmic, theoretical and practical tools that any user of machine learning needs to know. This first course of the two would focus more on mathematical tools, and the other course would focus more on algorithmic tools. [機器學習旨在讓電腦能由資料中累積的經驗來自我進步。我們的兩項姊妹課程將介紹各領域中的機器學習使用者都應該知道的基礎演算法、理論及實務工具。本課程將較為著重數學類的工具，而另一課程將較為著重方法類的工具。]

We firmly believe that open access to learning is a powerful socioeconomic equalizer. NTU is especially delighted to join other world-class universities on Coursera and to offer quality university courses to the Chinese-speaking population. We hope to transform the rich rewards of learning from a limited commodity to an experience available to all.

TOP REVIEWS FROM 機器學習基石上 (MACHINE LEARNING FOUNDATIONS)---MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATIONS
by LLJun 23, 2018
This course give a theoretical analysis of machine learning,though there is not much introduction of algorithm in detail,but this helped me open a new door of machine learning.

I am very grateful to the teacher for bring me to the world of Machine Learing. I am new in the field. I will try my best to learn the basic knowledge of ML.

林老师这部分课程内容偏理论，对数理基础有一定的要求。每次作业题需要认真思考，作业后面的编程部分也能锻炼实践能力，进一步巩固所学习的理论知识。总体来说质量不错，不过希望老师以后能以后对课件里面的问题进行总结的时候可以不用太story-like，或者说更简练一点，我认为这样可以有助于学习暂停视频并好好理解。

The speaker explains the ML in very clear and easier to understand way. I believe everyone can understand if he/she follow the course.
