First Step Towards Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence World

What are the Prerequisites for a beginner of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence?

Hello guys!

I wish all are doing well in their daily life and enjoying the learning every day. Now we will go to the main topic. The prerequisites for machine learning and artificial intelligence.

When beginners get started with machine learning, the first question strikes in their mind is "What are the prerequisites? What do I need to get a correct start to my learning?".

A lot of beginners had a fear that "I need to be master in Mathematics, Programming language, etc. etc...!". Here only everyone loses their interest in machine learning. It is absolutely a wrong way, guys...

Without wasting your time we will go to the main issue...

There are 5 main prerequisites for every machine learning aspirant...Here I am giving a brief introduction about the prerequisites and complete details and complete references will be provided for you.

1)  Computer Science Fundamentals and  Programming

What programming languages do you need to learn for machine learning?.... Yes!!! it is absolutely everyone's first choice is Python. Some people also suggest R  but in my opinion, python is best for the beginners and both languages had their own advantages and disadvantages. So choose which one you are more comfortable with.

2) Probability and Statistics 

So you don't need to be a master in probability and statistics if you are going to a company to work as a machine learning engineer.

But if u wanted to do research in machine learning or wanted to be a data scientist you must be a master in probability and statistics and other mathematics that are necessary.

3) Data Modelling and Evaluation

This is the most important skill that you must have to become a machine learning or data analytics specialist. Don't worry about it much it completely depends on how much you have practiced with data. So work hard and try different datasets a lot.

4) Machine Learning Algorithms and Libraries

There are lot's of Machine Learning algorithms don't worry about it we will discuss everything. So for libraries, these completely depend on the programming language you chose. We will have complete details in the future posts.

5) Linear algebra and Calculus

These topics also part of mathematics, you don't need to be master if wanted to go into machine learning industry and these are the most important if you are interested in research.

So these are the most important prerequisites for every beginner. You must follow these prerequisites if you ignore anyone you may not understand the concepts well. If you wanted to understand every topic you must have a keen interest in learning and you must give enough time and you have to be patient all the time when learning new things.

This is my first blog post in the process to teach everyone about machine learning in a simple way... Thanks for reading the entire post patiently. In future, I will definitely improve my teaching style and this blog will be most useful for absolute beginners to learn every concept in a simple way.

Thanks, Everyone!
