About the Specialization

Have you ever wondered how self-driving cars are running on roads or how Netflix recommends the movies which you may like or how Amazon recommends you products or how Google search gives you such an accurate results or how speech recognition in your smartphone works or how the world champion was beaten at the game of Go?

Machine learning is behind these innovations. In the recent times, it has been proven that machine learning and deep learning approach to solving a problem gives far better accuracy than other approaches. This has led to a Tsunami in the area of Machine Learning.

Most of the domains that were considered specializations are now being merged into Machine Learning. This has happened because of the following:

  • Better research and algorithms
  • Better computing resources
  • Distributed computing infrastructures
  • Availablity of Big Data

Every domain of computing such as data analysis, software engineering, and artificial intelligence is going to be impacted by Machine Learning. Therefore, every engineer, researcher, manager or scientist would be expected to know Machine Learning.

So naturally, you are excited about Machine learning and would love to dive into it. This specialization is designed for those who want to gain hands-on experience in solving real-life problems using machine learning and deep learning. After finishing this specialization, you will find creative ways to apply your learnings to your work. For example

  • You would like to build a robot which can recognize faces or change the path after discovering obstacles on the path.
  • Or maybe you would like to unearth hidden gems (like predicting next year revenue or fraudulent transactions or building a recommendation engine etc) in your company's tons of data(logs, financial records, HR reports or e-commerce transactions reports).

See you in the specialization and happy learning!

This course is suitable for everyone. Me being a product manager had not done hands-on coding since quite some time. Python was completely new to me. However, Sandeep Giri gave us a crash course to Python and then introduced us to Machine Learning. Also, the CloudxLab’s environment was very useful to just log in and start practising coding and playing with things learnt. A good mix of theory and practical exercises and specifically the sequence of starting straight away with a project and then going deeper was a very good way of teaching. I would recommend this course to all.

...

Machine learning courses in especially the Artificial Intelligence for the manager course is excellent in CloudxLab. I have attended some of the course and able to understand as Sandeep Giri sir has taught AI course from scratch and related to our data to day life…

He even takes free sessions to helps students and provides career guidance.

His courses are worthy and even just by watching YouTube video anyone can easily crack the AI interview.

...

This is one of the best-designed course, very informative and well paced. The killer feature of machine/deep learning coursed from CloudxLab is the live session with access to labs for hands-on practices! With that, it becomes easy following any discourse, even if one misses the live sessions(Read that as me!). Sandeep(course instructor) has loads of patience and his way of explaining things are just remarkable. I might have better comments to add here, once I learn more! Great Jobs guys!

...

It has been a wonderful learning experience with CXL. This is one of the courses that will probably stay with me for a significant amount of time. The platform provides a unique opportunity to try hands-on simultaneously with the coursework in an almost real-life coding example. Besides, learning to use algebra, tech system and Git is a good refresher for anyone planning to start or stay in technology. The course covers the depth and breadth of ML topics. I specifically like the MNIST example and the depth to which it goes in explaining each and every line of code. Would definitely recommend the instructor-led course.

...

I took both the machine learning and deep learning course at CloudXLab. I came into the first part of the course with some knowledge of machine learning but the class really helped me understand some of the topics a lot clearer. I think the best part of the class is the instructor Sandeep. He is very knowledgeable and does a really good job explaining topics that can be nebulous at times. Another favorite part of the course are the online labs. I would watch the 3hr lecture the next day, and then work on the labs. The labs reinforces the lectures with questions and coding assignments. There is also a message board and a slack channel. I preferred using slack, but I think you get a quicker response if you use the message board. As far as the deep learning portion of the course, it was all new to me but I was building CNN and RNN models using TensorFlow after each 3hr lecture. Overall, I was very pleased with the course. I am hoping that CloudxLab will put together an advanced class focusing more on deploying models to the clouds, working with pipelines, DevOps etc…

...

I found the ML&DL course very well structured with ample examples and hands on exercises. Sandeep was very patient in answering questions and he made the training sessions very interactive. I would recommend this training to all who plan to take a dive into the world of machine and deep learning.

...

I have thoroughly enjoyed both the ML and DL courses from CloudXLab and will look forward to reviewing the videos/material at a later time. I’ve been to many meetups and paid sessions on ML /DL and this course beats most of them on the depth of topics and certainly breadth of topics. I’ve not taken any online courses (Andrew Ng, for example) to their conclusion, so I won’t draw a conclusion there. For an instructor-led, interactive course, I would expect to pay many times more for a class (ML and DL) such as this in the US. The instructor is easy to understand, has extensive experience, and truly cares about the student knowing the material.

...

A very well structured instructor-led course. The instructor was very thorough, and always willing to answer questions and clarify coursework, no matter how minor. The course described the theory of machine/deep learning well, but also followed through with very thorough examples to demonstrate the practical implementations of the theory. This leads nicely into the student exercises, which served to solidify the instructor's teachings and encourage experimentation. The resources provided for students was exceptional and presented in a very user-friendly format.

My only complaint is that the course went quite overtime, but I also appreciate Sandeeps dedication to quality and ensuring that he finished teaching us everything adequately.

...

I have been using CloudxLab for Machine Learning and based on experience I can say that they have done a fabulous job in training and certification process which makes the user so interactive with faculty and software intuitive.
