Last Updated on July 5, 2019 Where can you get good datasets to practice machine learning? Datasets that are real-world so that they are interesting and relevant, although small enough for you to review in Excel and work through on your desktop. In this post you will discover a database of high-quality, real-world, and well understood machine learning datasets that you can use to practice applied machine learning. This database is called the UCI machine learning repository and you can use […]

Last Updated on August 15, 2020 Get Started And Avoid Getting The Wrong Advice Machine learning is a fascinating and powerful field of study filled with algorithms and data. The thing is, there are so many different types of people interested in machine learning, and each has different needs. It is important to understand what it is you want from machine learning and to tailor your self-study to those needs.
