Finally, I overcame the procrastination to learn to program in Matlab/Octave effectively. I felt very comfortable in dealing with Octave. Previously, I thought Octave had very less features compared to Matlab. It is kind of true. But, you could manage writing code that could solve complex problems without spending much money on a Matlab License.
Andrew Ng has been absolutely phenomenal in explaining complex problems clearly. The new stuff that I learnt was:
- Logistic Regression.
- Neural Nets.
- Support Vector Machines.
- Debugging Machine Learning problems.
- Know how(theory) of using certain optimization algorithms on Map-Reduce.
My background in Pattern Recognition did definitely help in it. I was working in a related area of research, it helped in finishing my Master's Thesis too! Now I'm pretty confident on taking on any ML problem/assignment.
Now, I have time to complete other interesting courses such as Probabilistic Graphical Models and Neural Networks for ML.
Thanks Dr. Andrew Ng and Thank you Coursera!
And yeah, this my certificate.
Congratulations Rahul, on your accomplishment.
