Why Machine Learning?

Machine Learning has taken the world by a storm in the last 10 years, revolutionizing every company and empowering many applications we use every day.

Here are some examples of where you can find machine learning today: recommender systems, image recognition, sentiment analysis, price prediction, machine translation, and many more!

There are over 3000 job announcements requiring Scikit Learn in the United States alone, and almost 80000 jobs mentioning machine learning in the US. Machine Learning engineers can easily earn six figure salaries in major cities, and companies are investing Billions of dollars in developing their teams.

Even if you already have a job, understanding how machine learning works will empower you to start new projects and get visibility in your company.


Why Scikit Learn?

  • It's the best Python library to learn machine learning

  • Simple, yet powerful API for predictive data analysis

  • Used in many industries: tech, biology, finance, insurance

  • Built on standard libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib
