Embark on a comprehensive 22-hour machine learning journey, progressing step-by-step through a wide range of topics. Begin with a gentle introduction to machine learning fundamentals, including cross-validation, confusion matrices, sensitivity and specificity, and bias and variance. Dive into key concepts like entropy, linear regression, multiple regression, and logistic regression, with clear explanations of ROC curves, AUC, odds ratios, and maximum likelihood estimation. Explore advanced techniques such as regularization methods (Ridge, Lasso, and Elastic Net), principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and clustering algorithms (hierarchical, k-means, and DBSCAN). Delve into decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting, and support vector machines. Gain insights into neural networks, covering backpropagation, activation functions, and convolutional neural networks for image classification. Master essential statistical concepts and data visualization techniques, including lowess and loess smoothing. By the end of this playlist, acquire a solid foundation in machine learning theory and practical applications, preparing you for real-world data science challenges. Read more
