About the Course

Machine Learning, often called Artificial Intelligence or AI, is one of the most exciting areas of technology at the moment. We see daily news stories that herald new breakthroughs in facial recognition technology, self driving cars or computers that can have a conversation just like a real person. Machine Learning technology is set to revolutionise almost any area of human life and work, and so will affect all our lives, and so you are likely to want to find out more about it. Machine Learning has a reputation for being one of the most complex areas of computer science, requiring advanced mathematics and engineering skills to understand it. While it is true that working as a Machine Learning engineer does involve a lot of mathematics and programming, we believe that anyone can understand the basic concepts of Machine Learning, and given the importance of this technology, everyone should. The big AI breakthroughs sound like science fiction, but they come down to a simple idea: the use of data to train statistical algorithms. In this course you will learn to understand the basic idea of machine learning, even if you don't have any background in math or programming. Not only that, you will get hands on and use user friendly tools developed at Goldsmiths, University of London to actually do a machine learning project: training a computer to recognise images. This course is for a lot of different people. It could be a good first step into a technical career in Machine Learning, after all it is always better to start with the high level concepts before the technical details, but it is also great if your role is non-technical. You might be a manager or other non-technical role in a company that is considering using Machine Learning. You really need to understand this technology, and this course is a great place to get that understanding. Or you might just be following the news reports about AI and interested in finding out more about the hottest new technology of the moment. Whoever you are, we are looking forward to guiding you through you first machine learning project. NB this course is designed to introduce you to Machine Learning without needing any programming. That means that we don't cover the programming based machine learning tools like python and TensorFlow....

At first, I thought it was difficult for me to follow as I come from a different background other than computer science. As I began to progress, the context became clear and I found myself engaging in this more. The teaching style is good, the exercises with examples are amazing. Overall I learnt the basics of Machine learning perfectly, As this topic is so wide there is a lot for me to cover and I am proud that I started my journey from this course. I was also able to complete this course within two weeks as it was very easy to understand. Thank you.

Excellent introduction to the surprisingly simple basis for (at least) visual machine learning. The professor is clear, informative and down-to-earth, and a group of his colleagues serves as kind of Greek Chorus, expanding on ideas touched on in the lecture videos. They're especially interesting on the promise and dangers of the technology. Caveat: You must spend some time on the final assignment using a machine learning app provided by the course to get the most out of the class (as well as a decent grade). It's worth taking that time.

This is the best MOOC I have done – I particularly like how this topic, which is usually approached simply from a technical perspective, is approached critically while also engaging with teachnical aspects. Rather getting lost in detail, this gives a really great high-level overview but enough detail to really understand and appreciate some the concepts and mechanics. I also liked the honesty of the lecturers, including those interviewed. A really super course, as I say, the best I have done among many over the years.

This course, Machine Learning for All, is very informational, especially on the theory and the intuition aspect of the concepts related to Machine Learning, AI, how they work, why they work, the different types of machine learning, and also the thinking around the future of AI and machine learning in different domains of applications. This course is highly recommended for any beginner trying to make sense of what this new paradigm of machine learning / AI is about.

Very inspiring and well-organized course for beginners to learn about machine learning. Truly appreciated the precise and concise course materials, and the illustrative animation and examples. Also enjoyed the valuable sharing by different experts in the field. The one thing I like most about this course was the "Machine Learning Project" that I found the experiential learning insightful. Overall, highly recommended to those who are interested in machine learning

This course was well taught and included all the "detailed basics" of AI Machine Learning. How algorithms work, how a computer undertands, for instance, an image. Including first hand experience with image recognition, how to train a plugin model with image input to get the desired output. I learned a lot from putting the taught theory into practise. Now it is up to us students whether to take a deeper dive into the architecture of machine learning models.

This was an interesting course. I got to know about a lot of stuff like what is AI or machine learning, what the disadvantages and advantages of machine learning, what type of data we have to use for machine learning and how to make our system less biased. It was well explained.

I would like to thank The University of London and my mentor Prof Marco Gillies who taught us very clearly. So, yeah it was a great experience. Thank you so much

Very insightful and easy-going. I did not know anything about ML and AI and this short course has taught me the basics and what is more, fostered my interest in ML applications. For beginners I think is perfect, if you know the basics already, then you might not find this course as interesting as a beginner. I would like to know more things in-depth and what is really behind ML, so I will keep up my self-study in this exciting field!

Excellent introduction to the key concepts of machine learning. Course materials were clear and easy to follow. I was concerned however, that there are large numbers of people who aren't putting any effort into the course (judging by the final assignments I had to review) and hope that the value of the course is not diminished by participants who obviously are 'taking the piss' with their efforts (or lack thereof).

Loved the course! Great hands-on introduction to Machine Learning. Shows how important data is. Doesn't go into mathematics and algorithms much but at beginner level that's okay. This course has quizzes where the instructor asks you to google and then answer. Different approach, and by googling it instead of watching a lecture on it, you end up learning a lot more. Thank you Dr. Marco and to all the experts.

Excellent introduction to Machine Learning, especially if you're not interested in programming per se. In my case I wanted to have an appreciation for it without having to write Python code, and the course delivered.

Videos were almost always worthwhile, especially the panel discussions.

It would be nice for the Coursera platform to allow me to easily find my previous comments on a particular week.

This is eye opener for my to understand the Machine Learning. I can understand the Macine learing software degelopment life cycle. Because Machine learning is the new way of developing the system to use. We are not developing the system. We are creating the system. we have to understand the word Development and Creation.

Grete course to understand

Como sempre parabenizo pela excelência do curso, porem gostaria de comentar apenas uma coisa nos testes feitos em grupo com a troca de avaliação pelos alunos tive muita dificuldade e ocorreu muitos erros de sistema. enfim talvez seja uma deficiência minha e não do curso. Parabens mais uma vez pela qualidade 10. obrigado.
