includedClass Experience
This comprehensive Machine Learning Fundamentals course covers essential concepts and practical applications across ten structured lessons. Beginning with an introduction to TensorFlow and basic machine learning principles, students progress through topics such as linear regression, model tuning strategies, K-NN clustering, decision forests, and neural networks, including feed-forward networks and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Each lesson incorporates hands-on projects using datasets like MNIST and CIFAR10, where students implement algorithms, tune models for optimal performance, and visualize results. The course culminates in a final project phase where participants develop and present their own machine learning applications, exploring diverse topics from image classification to model ensembling and hyperparameter optimization. For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.

Lesson 2:
Linear Regression
This project aims to teach linear regression fundamentals, including hypothesis setup with the equation 𝑦 = 𝑚 𝑥 + 𝑏 y=mx+b, where 𝑚 m represents weights and 𝑏 b denotes biases. Participants will learn to compute these parameters using gradient descent and understand the mean squared error cost function. Using TensorFlow and NumPy, they will implement a linear regression model, iteratively refining weights and biases over multiple epochs and visualizing model performance.
