About Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning course
Andrew Ng's 'Supervised Machine Learning: Regression and Classification' is the first course of the Machine Learning Specialization, offered on Coursera in collaboration between DeepLearning.AI and Stanford Online. This beginner-friendly course teaches the fundamentals of supervised learning, including linear regression and logistic regression, using Python libraries such as NumPy and scikit-learn. Learners build and train machine learning models for prediction and binary classification tasks through hands-on projects and assignments. The course is part of a three-course specialization that covers modern machine learning techniques, including neural networks, decision trees, clustering, and best practices for AI innovation. Taught by AI visionary Andrew Ng, this updated version of his pioneering course has been taken by over 4.8 million learners and is available in multiple languages with a flexible 3-week schedule.
