About this skill path
More data is created and collected every day. Machine learning models can find patterns in big data to help us make data-driven decisions. In this skill path, you will learn to build machine learning models using regression, classification, and clustering methods. Along the way, you will create real-world projects to demonstrate your new skills.
Skills you'll gain
- Create neural nets from scratch
- Evaluate model performance
- Build supervised and unsupervised models

Introduction to Machine Learning
Welcome to the world of machine learning! You will learn some of the fundamental concepts behind machine learning.
- 2
Supervised Learning: Regression
Use linear regression or multiple linear regression to fit a line to data. Using this line, you can make predictions about future data.
- 3
Regression Cumulative Project
Practice your regression skills on a real-world dataset provided by Yelp!
- 4
Supervised Learning: Introduction to Classification
Learn to classify data using some of the most famous supervised machine learning models.
- 5
Supervised Learning: Advanced Classification
Learn some of the more complicated supervised machine learning models.
- 6
Supervised Machine Learning Cumulative Project
In this cumulative project, use your understanding of a variety of supervised machine learning models to analyze social media data.
- 7
Unsupervised Learning
Learn how unsupervised machine learning models work by implementing the K-Means clustering algorithm.
Hands-on learning
Don't just watch or read about someone else coding — write your own code live in our online, interactive platform. You'll even get AI-driven recommendations on what you need to review to help keep you on track.
