Syllabus

  • Regression and Gradient Descent
    • Dig deep into regression and learn about the gradient descent algorithm. This course does not rely on high-level libraries like scikit-learn, but focuses on building these algorithms from scratch for a thorough understanding. Master the implementation of simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, and logistic regression powered by gradient descent.
  • Classification Algorithms and Metrics
    • Go beneath the surface of classification algorithms and metrics, implementing them from scratch for deeper understanding. Bypass commonly-used libraries such as scikit-learn to construct Logistic Regression, k-Nearest Neighbors, Naive Bayes Classifier, and Decision Trees from ground up. This course includes creating the AUCROC metric for Logistic Regression, among others.
  • Gradient Descent: Building Optimization Algorithms from Scratch
    • Delve into the intricacies of optimization techniques with this immersive course that focuses on the implementation of various algorithms from scratch. Bypass high-level libraries to explore Stochastic Gradient Descent, Mini-Batch Gradient Descent, and advanced optimization methods such as Momentum, RMSProp, and Adam.
  • Ensemble Methods from Scratch
    • Learn about Ensemble Methods and their implementation from scratch. This course covers the understanding and implementation of multiple ensemble methods such as Bagging, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and Gradient Boosting Machines like XGBoost without relying on high-level libraries.
  • Unsupervised Learning and Clustering
    • Navigate through the intricacies of Unsupervised Learning and Clustering in this hands-on course. Skip the high-level libraries and build core aspects of unsupervised learning methods from scratch, including k-Means, mini-batch k-Means, Principal Component Analysis, and DBSCAN. Learn to assess cluster quality with crucial clustering metrics like homogeneity, completeness, and v-metric.
  • Neural Networks Basics from Scratch
    • Dive deep into the theory and implementation of Neural Networks. This course will have you implementing tools at the heart of modern AI such as Perceptrons, activation functions, and the crucial components of multi-layer Neural Networks. All of this without the help of high-level libraries leaves you with a profound understanding of the underpinning mechanisms.
