About the Course

Machine Learning, often called Artificial Intelligence or AI, is one of the most exciting areas of technology at the moment. We see daily news stories that herald new breakthroughs in facial recognition technology, self driving cars or computers that can have a conversation just like a real person. Machine Learning technology is set to revolutionise almost any area of human life and work, and so will affect all our lives, and so you are likely to want to find out more about it. Machine Learning has a reputation for being one of the most complex areas of computer science, requiring advanced mathematics and engineering skills to understand it. While it is true that working as a Machine Learning engineer does involve a lot of mathematics and programming, we believe that anyone can understand the basic concepts of Machine Learning, and given the importance of this technology, everyone should. The big AI breakthroughs sound like science fiction, but they come down to a simple idea: the use of data to train statistical algorithms. In this course you will learn to understand the basic idea of machine learning, even if you don't have any background in math or programming. Not only that, you will get hands on and use user friendly tools developed at Goldsmiths, University of London to actually do a machine learning project: training a computer to recognise images. This course is for a lot of different people. It could be a good first step into a technical career in Machine Learning, after all it is always better to start with the high level concepts before the technical details, but it is also great if your role is non-technical. You might be a manager or other non-technical role in a company that is considering using Machine Learning. You really need to understand this technology, and this course is a great place to get that understanding. Or you might just be following the news reports about AI and interested in finding out more about the hottest new technology of the moment. Whoever you are, we are looking forward to guiding you through you first machine learning project. NB this course is designed to introduce you to Machine Learning without needing any programming. That means that we don't cover the programming based machine learning tools like python and TensorFlow....

Very interesting course for beginners in ML. The language and examples used are simple. There are some discussions with a panel of experts which helps to understand the problems and the benefits of the fields.

There is also a web app to do ML tests which helps to see and to understand with your own eyes how it works.

I totally loved this course. It make me realise that machine learning is not that hard as it seems, and its a lot more interesting if you go deeper in. The best part was testing. Our teacher of this course is amazing and i would recommend learners to go through this course if youre interested in Machine Learning

Very nice and easy going intro do AI.

If you have an engineering background the pace will probably be too low for you. But if this is your first step in this realm, absolutely recommended! Really impressed by the professionalism of this. Thanks a lot to Prof. Gilles! Also the guest speakers were exceptional.

An amazing course for an intro to ML for people from any background. The best part is you get do small assignment of your own and have fellow learners give you feedback over it. This, with getting to review other people's assignments adds so much to the understanding of the content the course emphasizes on.

The overall course was easy. I was able to learn its basics quite easily. Instructor explanation was easy and I liked when he introduced others people who are experienced with ML which helped to understand even more in practical sense. Only thing I felt lacking was we didnt get to write/work on algorithm.

Great Course to get an insight into Machine learning. Amazing for a person from a non-IT background. If you are from IT, just to tell you don't expect to code your models in this course. It will only tell you how to use a model not to build it.

Is a great starting point to be familiarized with ML and AI concepts, is a basic course so do not expect that you are gonna end writing scripts for ML, but you will learn or refresh key concepts very valuable for go in deep in other courses.

This was a really interesting first look at ML without a single line of code. The presented and teacher was excellent and the interviews were really interesting too. Next I'd like to see a little code and the workings of the models.
