Why I wanted to learn Machine Learning

The whole world is being computerized. When I started learning Python Programming, I figured out some introduction of Machine Learning. And when I listened to one statement I got very interest. The statement was, “Machine Learning is a technology of programming in which If a machine is made it can learn to play football. It will get trained itself. “ I was totally amazed by this sentence. And I also thought of learning Machine Learning.

How I approached learning Machine Learning

I saw some online courses. They would cost me an approx minimum of $100. I didn’t have money at that time. So, I started by seeing youtube videos to understand the basics of Machine Learning. After getting some more information about it. I started to apply for the scholarship on different platforms like coursera, edx, etc. But didn’t get any scholarships. So, I started by breaking the parts of learning ML. I then learned different libraries of ML-like Scikit-learn, pandas, numpy, scipy, etc.

Challenges I faced

While learning Machine Learning, we have to adapt ourselves with different kinds of updates in libraries. So, it can be little hard to figure out new updates. And basically you will need to know more problem-solving techniques to be perfect or proficient in Machine Learning and programming as well.

Key takeaways

Yeah! While doing programming you will get many more bugs. Don’t get disappointed and start by breaking the things up as I did. Not only in the bug, in each part of life, try solving problems by breaking the problems into smaller parts.

Tips and advice

You should not be selfish. You have to create some impact to the world, the world will automatically praise you after that.
