You are looking to get into Machine Learning? You most certainly can
Because I believe that if an above-average student like me was able to do it, you all certainly can as well
Here's how I went from knowing nothing about programming to someone working in Data Science👇
when I started out, I knew nobody that worked or had knowledge of Data Science which made me try all sorts of different things that were not actually necessary.
I learned it out of curiosity and I had no idea about Machine Learning at this point.
The approach I took was just to make the same kind of programs I made in C but just replacing the syntax with that of python and practised those.
Already knowing a language made it easier.
I didn't have to have any idea about Machine Learning for the course. I completed that in almost a month and it gave me a good intuition of things and the flow of ML.
But after a lot of tries, I wasn't really able to do it. Because I was constantly encountering a lot of stuff things in code that I wasn't really aware of.
Even loading the CSV data seemed like a hard task.
The absolute necessary ones were
🔸Numpy
🔸Pandas
🔸Matplotlib
🔸Seaborn
🔸SciKit Learn
🔸Os (an important built-in package).
The practice of the taught concepts multiple times was necessary, I did that as much as I could and also read blogs on them
Different people solve the same problem differently and you read a lot of other people's code. From there on that's what kept me growing.
🔹Exploration and visualization of data
🔹How to approach a new problem
🔹Better code structure for implementing a machine learning solution
You don't have to be an absolute grandmaster of kaggle but plenty practice and patience is needed.
▪ Titanic Survival
▪ Spam Classification
▪ Movies Recommendation
▪ Boston House Pricing
▪ Churn Prediction
You'll kind of know your way from there, moving to harder problems slowly.
Learning the maths behind will keep things interesting if you won't enjoy that you will get bored pretty quickly.
And you are NOT too old or too young for this stuff
