How the Machine Learning Specialization can help you

Newly rebuilt and expanded into 3 courses, the updated Specialization teaches foundational AI concepts through an intuitive visual approach, before introducing the code needed to implement the algorithms and the underlying math.

I’m a complete beginner

  • Doesn’t require prior math knowledge or a rigorous coding background
  • Takes the core curriculum — vetted by millions of learners over the years — and makes it more approachable
  • Each lesson begins with a visual representation of machine learning concepts, followed by the code, followed by optional videos explaining the underlying math

I enrolled in but didn’t complete the original Machine Learning course

  • Balances intuition, code practice, and mathematical theory to create a simple and effective learning experience
  • Includes new ungraded code notebooks with code samples and interactive graphs to help you complete graded assignments

I’ve already completed the original Machine Learning course

  • Great way to refresh foundational ML concepts
  • Assignments and lectures have been rebuilt to use Python rather than Octave
  • The section on applying machine learning has been updated significantly based on emerging best practices from the last decade
