Learn Machine Learning with Google AI - Google offers free online machine learning course for everyone

Short News:- Google is now offering everyone to learn Machine Learning for free! Yep.. at zero cost.

First of all, let me clear myself. You might be thinking - why such a post in The Hackers' Library! There's no hacking in here! Yep.. you are absolutely right. But this post is here due to a single reason. I always thought of creating a Master Hacking Bot. We all know the power of AI. Just think of what can a bot do if it is taught to HACK!!! Along with ML capabilities, the power of this bot can be infinite. I don't know if it is possible or not. But the truth is - no one charges you for dreaming big...

So, now let's start the discussion. There is really no good material available on net for learning AI. If it is, I doubt it is free. But no worries now, Google brings you a way to learn AI and ML for free. Not only it gives you tutorials, but it also gives you practice by providing you with examples and exercises. It introduces you to the world of AI.

"AI can solve complex problems and has the potential to transform entire industries, which means it's crucial that AI reflect a diverse range of human perspectives and needs. That's why part of Google AI's mission is to help anyone interested in machine learning succeed – from researchers, to developers and companies, to students," said Google Technical Program Manager Zuri Kemp on the company's official blog.

She also introduced the new Learn with Google AI website which provides ways for users to learn about core machine learning concepts, develop and hone their skills in the subject, as well as apply the technology to real-world problems.

This website is created for a wide range of users. Everyone from deep learning experts needing advanced tutorials and materials on TensorFlow, to newbies who just want to take their first steps with AI. That means, from students to experts, everyone can use this website, learn from the provided courses and expand their knowledge upto the top level.

Learn with Google AI also offers a free online course (actually its first course) called Machine Learning Crash Course (MLCC) which provides exercises, interactive visualisation, and instructional videos for anyone to learn and practise machine learning concepts.

So far, more than 18,000 Googlers have enrolled in MLCC, applying lessons from the course to enhance camera calibration for Daydream devices, build virtual reality for Google Earth, and improve streaming quality at YouTube. And this great achievement inspired Google to make it available for everyone. (Yep.. Google too needs inspiration - everyone does...)

This course is estimated about 15 hours and it is designed for newcomers with a zero knowledge of Machine Learning. There are some prerequisites of this course which are stated below:-

1. Knowledge of algebra - Yep...Mathematics including algebra and statistics is must and most important for ML.
2. Programming in Python - This is because the examples provided in the course are coded in python. It is not necessary but compared to other languages, Python is best for AI.

"There’s more to come from Learn with Google AI, including additional courses and documentation. We're excited to help everyone learn more about AI," said Kemp.
