My name is Jen, I'm the lead on this project and it's my pleasure to present this, and other curricula, from the Education Cloud Advocacy Team at Microsoft. We hope you learn a lot from these lessons. You can read about me here: aka.ms/jenlooper or visit me on the web at jenlooper.com ❤️

[jlooper]

hi @rupen4678 can you tell me what file you're trying to run and the error you're getting?

[rupen4678]

i tried to run the index.html file i saw the aource it had nothing so i went to the folder and opened the .ipynb files

[jlooper]

Please read all the instructions on how to run the repo locally on the home README file. You need to use Docsify to run the web version of this curriculum locally, and you will be working in the empty .ipynb files to build something like what's in the solution folder for each lesson.

[jlooper]

hi, this is a self-study course, so begin when you like!

[nekomar]

Hi! My name is Omar, and I'm from Azerbaijan as well, and would like to switch from civil engineering to data science/ML industry. I hope your course will help me to get started!

[jlooper]

Welcome! I hope so as well 👋

[amlan01]

Hello, my name is Amlan. I'm from India. Currently working with the state remote sensing center in Assam, India. I hope this community will help augment my ML learning journey. Moreover, i intend to build feature extraction models for satellite data. I have come across U-Net models, yet never deployed one to work. Pinning my hopes on this space to help understand the fundamentals. Thank you. Reach me @Linkedin

[jlooper]

Welcome, Amlan!

[rabichubu]

My name is Rabi Mustapha. I want to a have a basic knowledge and understanding of Machine Learning.

[shmuhammadd]

@rabichubu Hi Rabi, this is a self-study curriculum. You can start any time you wish. However, our online group study session ( Nigeria - one you sign-up your name ) will start next week. Keep an eye, you will receive an email within the next week.

[shmuhammadd]

@rabichubu You can also join the Discord to interact with other learners. See #276

[rupesh-dharme]

For the assignment "interview a data scientist" in techniques of ML, we are asked to submit an essay. So how are we supposed to submit that?

[jlooper]

Since it’s a self study course you might submit it here for feedback if you like

Hello, I am Felix, a Ghanaian and a lover of everything python..im a freelance self taught developer passionate about ML. Ready to learn and happy to be here.

[jsacevedor]

Hi Felix, I'm a beginner in this world, I'm interested in freelancer option, I asked you if maybe you would answer some questions to help me, please

[demboydeb]

Hello My name is Dema and I love ML. I hope that we will build the future together.

[erikweibust]

Howdy,

Thanks for putting this together. I have no ML experience nor do I have a background in Data Science. Would it make more sense to start with https://github.com/microsoft/Data-Science-For-Beginners and then come back to this course?

Thanks,
Erik

[jlooper]

hi! Great question! This course is for folks who are specifically interested in classical ML topics. I think the two courses standalone, and can be taken independently. The DS course is more about data wrangling, visualization, and using Azure, whereas this one leans heavily on Scikit-Learn. Either way, I'd encourage you to take both! Let us know how it goes!

[mubarak-mustopha]

I've been posting some of the assignments from the tutorial on my github https://github.com/mubarak-mustopha/microsoft_mlcourse
can you check them and give me a feedback please.

[erikweibust]

@jlooper Thanks for the quick, helpful reply. I'll take both! But, will probably start with the DS course and then the ML couse.

[abdull6771]

I'm begginer in Machine Learning and Computer Engineering Student from Nigeria I find this course very useful thank you Ma and I look forward to connect with you thank you once again

Hello, my name is Chul (social scientist). First of all, thank you so much for such great content! I have a question about "Build a regression model using Scikit-learn: prepare and visualize data. I'm stuck in the following codes:

import pandas as pd
pumpkins = pd.read_csv('../data/US-pumpkins.csv')
pumpkins.head()

Whenever I ran these codes, I got the following messages. Please help me address this problem. Thank you in advance.

[jlooper]

hi! the issue looks like a missing file or a misconfigured path. This error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../data/US-pumpkins.csv']() shows that your notebook can't find the pumpkin data. Check to see where that data file exists and make sure your path is well configured. Then it should run ok!

Thank you!

[jlooper]

hi, sounds like this problem: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/673827. Maybe you need to do a reinstallation of your command line tools?

[pch8429]

I will take a look at this. Thank you so much!

[pch8429]

You're right. It worked!

[jlooper]

yay!

[king-burna19]

Hello my name is Barnabas a studen from Kenya, doing Mechatronic Engineering. I was wondering how do i start this course??

[AkashahS]

start by forking the repo to your account. then go to your account and open the forked repository "ML-For-Beginners" open folders "1. Introduction" and then 1."1-intro-to-ML" and follow along.

[ProducerTonics]

hii im kelvin and my problem or suggestion is i need help on how to use or create html

[Samuel-Batubo]

Good day Everyone, I'm Samuel a post graduate student of Gas Engineering and a passionate ML enthusiast. I will love to learn with everyone here.

[Bmoyer96]

Greetings,
My name is
B. Allen Moyer, I am honored to be here and hope I can in some form of fashion accomplish each of you to some meaningful capacity. For quite a few years now I had wasted my value on they who not only took it but also went along to make many millions in monetary profits with my often times simple advice. Perhaps one of you is able to teach me how to accrue some of that wealth back?

Sincere gratitude, Benji

hello ma'am I am Divya .i want to learn ML but i dont where to stated

[Falco361]

I would go to microsoft website and search for there learning sections. Also. Looking into I.T. Courses. And a lot can be found on YouTube ,it’s what helped me and I was guided to southern career institute Where I’ve just started in it .ide look into Microsoft websites. On there learning sections might be the best option. Tho , best of luck to you on your journey, Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
