mlcourse.ai is an open Machine Learning course by OpenDataScience. The course is designed to perfectly balance theory and practice. You can take part in several Kaggle Inclass competitions held during the course. From spring 2017 to fall 2019, 6 sessions of mlcourse.ai took place - 26k participants applied, 10k converted to passing the first assignment, about 1500 participants finished the course. Currently, the course is in self-paced mode. Check out a thorough Roadmap guiding you through the self-paced mlcourse.ai.
Mirrors (:uk:-only): mlcourse.ai (main site), Kaggle Dataset (same notebooks as Kaggle Notebooks)
The Roadmap will guide you through 11 weeks of mlcourse.ai. For each week, from Pandas to Gradient Boosting, instructions are given on what articles to read, lectures to watch, what assignments to accomplish.
