After a multi-year hiatus, Hadelin and Kirill — the most popular data science instructors on Udemy, with 2+ million students — have released a new ML course. In this episode, they introduce what ML is from scratch.
Kirill Eremenko:
• Is Founder and CEO of SuperDataScience, an e-learning platform.
• Founded the SuperDataScience Podcast in 2016 and hosted the show until he passed me the reins two years ago.
Hadelin de Ponteves:
• Was a data engineer at Google before becoming a content creator.
• In 2020, took a break from Data Science content to produce and star in a Bollywood film featuring "Miss Universe" Harnaaz Sandhu.
Together, Kirill and Hadelin:
• Have created dozens of data science courses.
• Are the most popular data science instructors on the Udemy platform, with over two million students.
• After a multi-year hiatus from creating courses, they recently published a new course called “Machine Learning in Python: Level 1".
This episode serves as an introduction to machine learning so will primarily appeal to folks who aren’t already expert at ML — that said, I’ve been doing ML for over 15 years and still learned a few critical new pieces of information during filming so this episode could serve as a fun, light-hearted refresher for experts.
In this episode, Kirill and Hadelin introduce ML concepts such as:
• Supervised vs unsupervised learning
• Classification errors
• Logistic regression
• Feature scaling
• The Adjusted R-Squared metric
• The assumptions of linear regression
• The Elbow Method
The SuperDataScience podcast is available on all major podcasting platforms, YouTube, and at SuperDataScience.com.
