This document outlines a 12-week study plan to learn machine learning. In the first 4 weeks, students learn fundamentals like algorithms, programming languages, and libraries. Weeks 5-8 cover specific algorithms like linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees and SVMs. Weeks 9-10 focus on unsupervised techniques like clustering and dimensionality reduction. The final 4 weeks involve a project applying machine learning to a problem and supplemental study through books, courses and challenges. Regular practice is emphasized for effective learning.
