Introduction to ML-Shells
The Course is Organized as shells of growing knowledge from Core to Language and Lifecycles of ML
applications to Applications like Natural Language Processing, Text Processing Image Processing to
multiple Domains. While covering each of or even a set of domains would be a lot, the classes are
restricted to covering 3 inner shells only. However, the material in the applications shell is organized
to cater to and scale to multiple domains.

Course Outline Foundations of Machine Learning Algorithms (3 days)
 This course cuts through the mathematical talk around machine learning algorithms and
shows you exactly how they work so that you can implement them yourself in a spreadsheet, in code
with your favourite programming language or however you like.
 Once you possess this intimate knowledge, it will always be with you. You can implement the
algorithms repeatedly.
 More importantly, you can translate the behaviour of an algorithm back to the underlying procedure
and really know what is going on and how to get the most from it.
