Welcome to Classification. This is the third class in our
machine learning specialization. I'm Carlos Guestrin and together we're
going to go through the basics to the fundamentals to actually
building real world classifiers. It's going to be fun, exciting,
bit of work, maybe tons of work, but you'll come out the other side
being really an expert, and a lot of the core techniques that you need
to build classifiers in the real world. This course is the third course over six
course Specialization Machine Learning. In the first one we outlined
the basics of machine learning using the techniques as
input output black boxes. From the second course onward, we're
actually understanding the depths of each algorithm and
implementing them from scratch ourselves. The first course on regression
was really fun and exciting and I'm really glad of that. I'm leading this course on classification
which will be followed by a course on clustering, one on recommender systems,
and finally our capstone project where
your going to use deep learning and text analytics to build a whole new
kind of product recommender and apply it as a real time service.
