In this video, I show my very first beginner machine learning project I made after completeing Machine Learning Specialization. This will cover steps you need for a project, some techinical aspects, model comparison, and some mistakes I made. Some details may not make sense due to the fact that i was too newbie at that time🤪. And this project may end up with F- in grading😂. But I still hope you...
Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning Specialization Landed Me a Job | Course Review & All You Need to Know
Переглядів 9 тис.2 місяці тому
I took Machine Learning Specialization last summer and I built several hands-on data science projects out of it which helped me land a job as a data scientist in the banking sector. So in this video I review this course from several different angles: introduction, course structure, what it offers, reasons why I recommend it, and finally, my tips. Hope this can add value to you! One more thing: ...

Good explanation Monica 👍
Congratulations.
How about engineer?🤔
the course that is on youtube is it the same one that is on coursera ?
This course is only available on Coursera
first comment!! great video!!
This is Litterally the best advice I’ve received
Thank you!
I'm not going to lie it's pretty f****** easy for me to get a job. I go for the challenging stuff like plumbing and repair type work.
Then you are not the target audience hhh. It's mainly for those who wanna get a office job through getting a college degree. As I mentioned in the video, the demand and supply rule is getting unfriendlier to them but opportunities might favor those who do labor work like you.
If dude applied to 735 jobs, then he is the problem.
That's why I need to help them find a solution hhh
Finding coding boring and having a degree in this field is like being a doctor when you are a misanthrope. Just shows how many got into this field because of money and the status.
it's easier to get a 🔫
I was doing IBM data science machine learning which was straight, easy and understandable structure but when I tried to go through stanford it was a bit difficult, although I am doing Master's Studies and have good continuous academic touch but stanford looks me complicated I don't know why. Instead of making difficult methodology there should be given priority to make people understood by making easy stuff.
Andrew's way of teaching might not be for your flavor. I believe there is no study material that fits everyone due to individual differences.
@monicaaaalin yes, mam, I think so. But can you differentiate these two IBM vs. stanford machine learning? I mean, which one is fine ? Or just do whoever or whatever fits for us? It's a bit complicated for me to understand, I mean, where to go ? Is IBM enough or stanford? The end goal is the same, I think so if I understand IBM then it's enough? Right?
@@zahidhussainzd5576 i didn't IBM data science course, so I can't have a say.
@@monicaaaalin OK. Thanks.
Sounds like a project I'd get an F- 😂 Good explanation though!
Andrew Ng's course is one I recommend to students who struggle in some data science classes. As to the comments saying something like "it's too basic, you cannot land a job with this class": The point of Andrew Ng's class is to give a decent foundation and it does that really quite well. If you have a good foundation, you can build upon it with relative ease if and when you have to. If you don't, you'll struggle way more to acquire the skills later. And on top of this, you guys would be surprised to see how many "data science" jobs out there are relatively low-level in terms of required skills. Not every industry job will require you to know and use the latest and greatest modeling approaches. So it really depends on the sector and your role.
Totally agree with you. In fact, technical skills are just tools to achieve what business wants. What really matters in real work is understand business and have holistic vision. Many seniors in my company don't even code anymore but they are irreplaceable when it comes to strategy perspective.
Got curious on this, does it teach you on how to build recommendation systems for example ?
Yes, sometimes basic
@@monicaaaalin thank you for your reply. Im interested in that part specially as i have a need for it. I believe for a collaborative filtering approach would be what need. The course is quite lengthy so trying optimize time :D does this touch mostly deep learning and tensorflow or also classical ML ?
@@Noizept as far as I remember, ML and DL are roughly like toss-up (maybe I am wrong since it's been a long time). If you need more DL stuff, maybe their Deep Learning specialization suits you more.
Yes in the second course
No way it can land some one a job in 2024, this course is too basic
Depends on how u use it
Bro can u recommend an Hands on full Ai ml course
Thanks I am also taking this course and I completely agree with you - from on India
amazing ❤
Nice work Monica, here are some of my thoughts on your work: - The implementation of correlation in numpy is Pearson correlation and as you may know it measures the "linear association" of a pair of "continuous variables" which is not a correct measure of correlation between your target variable (continuous) and gender (binary). Instead you should use Point-Biserial Correlation. - Pearson correlation assumes normally distributed continuous variables which is not the case for the majority of independent variables. Additionally, Pearson correlation is affected by outliers if you take a look at formula so ideally you need to perform additional analysis to detect outliers in your data and decide what to do with it (remove/winsorize/scale). - All the algorithm you used in your project are intended to capture non-linear relationship between target and explanatory variables, not sure of the choice of Pearson correlation since it is a measure of linear association. Spearman rank correlation is a better candidate for non linear association measure since it captures monotonic relationships. - You can still keep the gender by encoding (one hot encoding) the variable (for random forest and AdaBoost) or converting the values of it into 2 dummy variables as for the case of polynomial regression, provided that there is a strong association between target variable and gender from point biserial test. - What is the point of checking for the normality of distribution of explanatory variables when you used models which do not strictly require normally distributed variables? - You can have correlated variables (not to the extreme of 0.9+) as final selected features since all the algorithms that you use have regularization to control for multicollinearity. - Polynomial regression model is sensitive to outliers, you probably need to have some sorts of treatment for outliers. - Since polynomial regression is a parametric model, it relies on several assumptions such as Independence of Errors, Homoscedasticity of the residual variance. Normality of Residuals, etc. I think this is something you can check cus if these assumptions do not hold, the results aren't statiscally reliable.
Thank you for your suggestions hhh. First beginner project always ends up with F- grade. 🤣🤣🤣
I was trying to find someone going through a deep review like this! I’m a current CS student and wanted to reinforce some of the topics I’ve learned already. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to start!
Good luck on your study journey!
Quite interesting!! I'll be very grateful if you can provide me some guidance as I'm ultra pro Max beginner. 😭
I will!
Thank you for making this video! I just started this course. Hoping it will help me for getting ml role 😅
Do more projects and you will make it!
What kind of models are you working with at work?
We don't use ML models currently but quantitative models in finance like time series. Maybe some ML models in the future.
How you landed the job . The course only covers basics of ML
A part of my master study is Quantitative Finance, which has lots of overlap with Data Science. I don't like machine learning courses from my school unfortunately.
your youtube channel is pretty good, but i think the SEO is not set up perfectly in your youtube videos, thats why the views is low, i think i can help you, let me know
programming careers are the best
It could be!
I have almost completed the first course, What other resources should I follow along with these courses?
Hey! In my case I just used the study material including code examples and slides from the professor at school after I completed everything. I would suggest you to check Python Data Science Handbook by Jake VanderPlas. The last chapter is about machine learning and it also gives in-depth explanation of concepts and how to build models.
amazing 🎉
🤔 your video made me consider pursuing more knowledge in the machine learning area, seems to be quite useful in the modern era
good to hear!
amazing!
coding itself can indeed get boring and repetitive, but the result makes it worth it code what you like, and you end up with positive experience, code what you need, and you end up with bland experience, code anything else, and you end up with miserable experience,
totally agree
If you think programmers will be replaced by an advanced Mr clippy you've been listening to the same doom salesman as those that peddle nuclear fusion, quantum computing and a hundred other scams
Maybe they listened to me. 🤣🤪
@@monicaaaalin they're desperate for it to be true the likes of amazon / nvidia / microsoft as otherwise the insane billions $ they're pouring into it will be for trinkets. They talk like it's going to happen to in order to try to make it happen, but the reality is the best you can hope for is a more productive programmer. Remember when spreadsheets came out all the accountants got fired? No coz it didn't happen, they could just work more efficiently. Remember when Wordpress came out all the web devs dissappeared? No, they could just produce better content (and that's debatable) more timely.
You may as well check what I said carefully. SOME programmers not ALL programmers. This is exactly what Amazon is doing right now: gradually stop hiring entry level software developers.
@@monicaaaalin That's not it. Amazon have the software they need already written and now they're in maintenance mode. Don't believe me? AWS has the worst UI of any cloud provider and despite that they're the biggest cloud provider on the planet. They don't need to be any better. Same with their own website, it's... fine. It's not amazing but it gets the job done, they don't need to be any better. their workflow stuff is probably the best on the planet, again doesn't need to be generationally better anymore. They're have NO competition to speak of so like every large company they don't need to improve.
Great video!! I really enjoy exploring different viewpoints
Actually writing basic software functions is and always has been trivial. Software engineers are hired to design and maintain complex systems using software to meet customer needs. There is a large gap between that and generative AI for now and likely far into the future. If AI gets smart enough to replace all aspects of software design and maintenance, it will replace every single thought based job. If it gets so good that it can eventually just make an engineer produce products 10x faster, then we will see an explosion of productivity and products.
Good perspective. My point is that jobs requiring coding skills like software engineering, data science are quickly evolving because of generative AI. It does not yet replace programmers and this will probably never happen in the distant future like you said. Anyway, I want to express programmers need to constantly learn new skills to not to lag behind in the era of AI. But I probably made a wrong conclusion in my video hh.
What do you think about developer adjacent jobs like QA or even Application Security, Pen testing etc. do you think AI can perform these tasks?
@JF-if8jh I see a lot of our teams moving towards not having dedicated QA group. I don't think that is great. But it seems even without AI the expectation is that developers can design and use automated tests at all levels prior to prod release. Could just be my company though... In general though, no I don't think current or near future AI can replace a QA engineer or Cyber Security that are thoughfully trying to break a system under test. But I wouldn't be surprised if many companies tried and then needed to hire more people down the road to clean up the mess AI will make.
@@monicaaaalin Yeah, I agree that is fair. In 10 years if the AI tools get much better coding could look very different. Maybe we may start to get some better program languages or ways to create apps/programs that are as different from coding with languages and frameworks as our current coding style is from punch cards back before we had high level languages. I am just looking forward to the world where the LLM hype has died down and we understand the benefit they bring more clearly. As I do think AI, unlike other recent hype tech like web3 and crypto will be more immediately useful.
@@amesasw this worries me because I’m currently a programmer analyst. my interest was never to create software or solve complex problems with code. I’ve always been more interested in finding bugs, defects and vulnerabilities in existing software then remediating them. I fear my skill set will become obsolete.
😿
My take is that the field is just getting even more competitive. I don't really think AI will replace programmers, but will surely translate the work that juniors before did, to the semi seniors o seniors in the industry. Heck, and not even yet, this friday I was helping a friend at work to use pagination in a website, he was using the paid version of chat gpt4, not only the strategies provided by the AI were wrong and not being used in the industry, but they were also just not usable the current app. In the end I guided him through the process, and explained the whole picture of how to implement that feature. Which barely took a few lines of code. As a freelancer I'm also really excited with the REAL stuff that is coming with AI like Cursor, this really helps ship a app really fast. Saves a lot of work.
good insight
Hahahahaha!
I enjoyed this video so much. Educative top notch 👌
thank you for your motivation!
