, I know this sentence sounds cliche so let me give you another one . Well, know it sounds overwhelming except if you are not a or a . “Anybody can code” “Anybody can learn AI” PhD mad scientist But believe me, at the end of this article irrespective of you being a programmer/non-programmer you will get to know the path and the best resources to learn AI in a sequential manner. Before starting I just want to make it clear that which itself comprises of sub-fields like , and many more. To be honest AI is like an ocean and its sub-fields are like seas so learning AI completely is impossible unless you are a SUPERHUMAN AI. AI IS A VAST FIELD Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Natural Language Processing So after enough talk, let’s START trash This is CS50 (Harvard University) If you are a non-programmer who is completely new to programming or a person who thinks that programming is hard or it’s not for you then this course is the best place to start. It will cover the fundamentals or heart of programming and Computer Science. This course is taught by Prof. David J. Malan who is super dynamic and energetic in nature. If you don’t have the time to watch the entire course then at least watch the first lecture. If you already know the fundamentals of programming then you can skip this course. 2. Python Programming Course (freeCodeCamp) When it comes to programming in the field of AI & Machine Learning then Python is the language which you will hear most of the time, I mean it’s one of the which has tonnes of library specialized for this field which will make your life easier in the longer run. The best part about Python is, it’s super . fastest-growing programming languages easy The above course is 4 ½ hours long which will cover topics like Installation, variables, strings, list, tuples, functions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a lot more. By the way, this course is practical in nature. If you already know Python Programming then you can skip this course. 3. AI For Everyone (Coursera) Now, this is the part where your AI journey will truly start. This course is theoretical in nature and is taught by the most renowned guy in the entire AI & Machine Learning industry, Prof. Andrew Ng. I mean anyone who has some knowledge in the field of AI mostly knows him. The best part about this course is that it’s , , & who has or hasn’t any knowledge about AI or programming in general. short concise interesting can be understood by anyone This course beautifully answers some common but interesting questions like What is AI & Machine Learning? What makes an AI company? What Machine Learning can or cannot do? How to choose a Machine Learning or an AI project? What is the workflow of a Machine Learning project? Discrimination/Bias, Adversarial attacks on AI, AI and jobs and many more. One of the important question which will mostly come into your mind while learning AI & Machine Learning is: Should we know the internal working of the algorithms in-depth or learn it superficially by implementing it with the help of the existing machine learning or deep learning platform Eg: Should I implement an Artificial Neural Network (one of the popular Deep Learning Algorithm) from scratch or use an existing platform like or . Tensorflow Pytorch I would suggest you, to learn the inner working of all the algorithms before implementing them using any external libraries, but in the end the decision is up to you. 4. Machine Learning offered by Stanford (Coursera) It’s one of the most popular course out there for Machine Learning which is taught by Prof. Andrew Ng. More than 3.1 million people have already enrolled in this course at the time of writing. The best part about this course is that it’s one of the most in-depth courses out there for Machine Learning which dares to teach the inner working of the algorithms and the math's behind it. This course uses Octave/Matlab for coding the algorithms, but I would highly recommend you to code those algorithms using Python as it’s an industry standard. 5. Machine Learning Tutorial (codebasics) So, after you have implemented those algorithms from scratch in the previous course or you are not comfortable with math's related to Machine Learning then this is the right course for you. This course is the best and the most underrated one found on YouTube. The best part about this course is the easy to understand explanation. In this course libraries like , , , and are used to implement and visualize various Machine Learning algorithms. Using external libraries like the above ones you can easily implement these algorithms within a few lines of code. numpy pandas matplotlib sklearn Apart from covering all the standard Machine Learning algorithms like Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine(SVM), K Means Clustering & Naive Bayes it also covers various topics like Gradient Descent, Saving Models, Dummy Variable & One Hot Encoding, etc. So, after you are comfortable with Machine Learning now is the time to learn Deep Learning which is a sub-field of Machine Learning. Deep Learning algorithms are the one that drives the and system of Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and a tonne of large corporations, startups. recommendation personalization 6. Deep Learning Specialization (Coursera) This is a specialization course in Coursera which is taught by Prof. Andrew Ng and it comprises 5 courses. Neural Network and Deep Learning Improving Deep Neural Networks: Hyper-parameter tuning, Regularization, and Optimization Structuring Machine Learning Projects Convolutional Neural Network Sequence Models The best part about this specialization is its in-depth material, lectures which cover the technical and mathematical parts about the algorithms and techniques. Python is used for coding those algorithms. Tensorflow & Pytorch are the open-source deep learning frameworks which are dominating the entire field of AI. Tensorflow is backed by Google and Pytorch is backed by Facebook. On the basis of popularity and downloads Tensorflow has the upper hand but when it comes to the AI research community they strongly back Pytorch. So it’s up to you which framework or platform you want to choose. I would recommend to try both of them and see what fits you the best. 7. Tensorflow in Practice Specialization (Coursera) Like other specialization courses on Coursera, it comprises of 4 courses. Introduction to TensorFlow for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Networks in TensorFlow Natural Language Processing in TensorFlow Sequences, Time Series and Prediction These courses are easy to grasp and are pretty practical in nature. It’s taught by the Instructor Laurence Moroney who is an AI Advocate at Google. Here you will build practical applications using Tensorflow. 8. Pytorch Tutorial (Pytorch Official Website) If you want to learn Pytorch framework then there is no better place then there own website. Their tutorials are divided into small chunks that cover most of the fundamental parts of Pytorch and how to implement different Deep Learning modules using it. To be honest, going through all of the above courses is going to take a lot of time so it depends on you and your needs what you want to prioritize. At last, I just want to say that “ ". Anybody can learn AI and Everybody should learn AI because AI is the next Industrial Revolution
