Intro to Machine Learning with PyTorch

Machine learning is changing countless industries, from health care to finance to market predictions. Currently, the demand for machine learning engineers far exceeds the supply. In this program, you’ll apply machine learning techniques to a variety of real-world tasks, such as customer segmentation and image classification. This program is designed to teach you foundational machine learning skills that data scientists and machine learning engineers use day-to-day.

This program emphasizes practical coding skills that demonstrate your ability to apply machine learning techniques to a variety of business and research tasks. It is designed for people who are new to machine learning and want to build foundational skills in machine learning algorithms and techniques to either advance within their current field or position themselves to learn more advanced skills for a career transition.

This program assumes that you have had several hours of Python programming experience. Other than that, the only requirement is that you have a curiosity about machine learning. Do you want to learn more about recommendation systems or voice assistants and how they work? If so, then this program is right for you.

Both Nanodegree programs begin with the scikit-learn machine learning library, before pivoting to either PyTorch or TensorFlow in the Deep Learning sections.
The only difference between the two programs is the deep learning framework utilized for Project 2. As such, there are accompanying lessons in each respective Nanodegree program that train you to develop machine learning models in that deep learning framework. You will complete the same project, Create an Image Classifier, in both Nanodegree programs - in PyTorch in , and in TensorFlow for .
