Great general overview of machine learning. I think the course can be re-organized to incorporate some of the theory and some coding tips as well, however.

Leans heavily on explaining differences between tech and finance applications of ML, but still great!

Great course. but requires lot of patience. Uses lot of unnecessary symbols and equations to explain concepts. Overall it is a good overview of the big picture of ML in finance.
