Skill Path: Machine Learning Introduction with Python
Machine learning is an exciting and in-demand aspect of the artificial intelligence world. It enables systems to learn and improve without direct instructions from users. In this path we cover the essential programming and statistics skills required for getting started in machine learning. From there we learn common machine learning techniques, including k-nearest neighbors, k-means clustering, and decision trees.
