MACHINE LEARNING

YOU MUST WATCH

BY NISCHAY THAPA
HERE'S HOW TO GET THE
MOST OUT OF THESE VIDEOS:
Don't take a quantitative approach.

Go through the video series, pick one and start

there.

Learn one topic, consider a problem statement

where you can apply the technique, and take
notes.

Use the 4W1H method for taking notes. Every

topic you learn should have "What", "Where",
"When", "Why", and "How".

Pick a problem, get the data, apply what you have

learnt and document everything.

That is the best way to retain your knowledge.

Remember:

Learning + Practice + Reflection = Mastery
