This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning, datamining, and statistical pattern recognition. Topics include: (i) Supervised learning (parametric/non-parametric algorithms, support vector machines, kernels, neural networks). (ii) Unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, recommender systems, deep learning). (iii) Best practices in machine learning (bias/variance theory; innovation process in machine learning and AI).

Introduction to Mathematical Thinking. The key to success in school math is to learn to think inside-the-box. In contrast, a key feature of mathematical thinking is thinking outside-the-box _ a valuable ability in today's world. This course helps to develop that crucial way of thinking.
Learn how to think the way mathematicians do – a powerful cognitive process developed over thousands of years. Mathematical thinking is not the same as doing mathematics – at least not as mathematics is typically presented in our school system. School math typically focuses on learning procedures to solve highly stereotyped problems. Professional mathematicians think a certain way to solve real problems, problems that can arise from the everyday world, or from science, or from within mathematics itself. The key to success in school math is to learn to think inside-the-box. In contrast, a key feature of mathematical thinking is thinking outside-the-box – a valuable ability in today’s world. This course helps to develop that crucial way of thinking.
Memoir and Personal Essay: Managing Your Relationship with the Reader. The blank page can be the most daunting obstacle in writing. In this course, aspiring writers will assemble a starter kit for approaching the blank page by developing constructive ways to think about the writing process as a whole.
De-Mystifying Mindfulness. Evolving from the popular Honours Academy course at Leiden University, this innovative course combines conventional scholarly inquiry from multiple disciplines (ranging from psychology, through philosophy, to politics) with experiential learning (including specially designed meditation labs,' in which you'll get chance to practice and analyze mindfulness on yourself).
Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles - This course is designed to show you how to look at what you're learning, and your place in what's unfolding in the society around you, so you can be what you want to be, given the real world constraints that life puts on us all. You'll see that by using certain mental tools and insights, you can learn and do more'far more'than you might have ever dreamed!
Mitigating Security Vulnerabilities on Google Cloud. In this self-paced training course, participants learn mitigations for attacks at many points in a Google Cloud-based infrastructure, including Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks, phishing attacks, and threats involving content classification and use.
In this first course, you will learn robust analysis techniques to predict and validate design performance and life. We will start by reviewing critical material properties in design, such as stress, strength, and the coefficient of thermal expansion. We then transition into static failure theories such as von Mises theory, which can be utilized to prevent failure in static loading applications such as the beams in bridges. Finally, we will learn fatigue failure criteria for designs with dynamic loads, such as the input shaft in the transmission of a car.
Based on one of the most popular open online courses in the world, this course gives you easy access to the learning techniques used by experts in art, music, literature, math, science, sports, and many other disciplines. No matter what your current skill level, using these approaches can help you master new topics, change your thinking and improve your life.
In this project-centered course, you will craft an essential cornerstone of the modern-day job or internship search: the resume. You'll review resume best practices and explore current trends with guidance from a professional career counselor and recruiter, and you'll exchange structured feedback with your peers as you work to polish your own resume.
This course covers the entire Industrial IoT network architecture from sensors and devices to analysis. The course discusses sensors and devices but the focus is on the cloud side. You'll learn about the importance of scaling, device communication, and processing streaming data.
