Editor's note: For the full scope of the data science courses included in this 2-part series, please see A Complete Collection of Data Science Free Courses - Part 1.

 

Note: The Coursera courses mentioned in the blog can be audited for free, meaning that you have access to all the course content and can read and view it without any cost.

 

Machine Learning

 

Machine learning is the backbone of modern technology. Almost every big company in the world is trying to use it to get the most out of the data. 

By taking the free courses, you will learn about classification, regression, clustering, and reinforcement learning. Moreover, you will learn about feature engineering, advanced algorithms, and optimizing techniques.

 

Deep Learning

 

Deep learning is driving modern artificial intelligence technologies like ChatGPT. They use deep neural networks to process the data and come up with a prediction. 

By taking these courses, you will learn about advanced machine learning algorithms, preprocessing techniques, feature engineering, and neural network architectures. 

You will also learn various algorithms used in computer vision, NLP, forecasting, automatic speech recognition, generative art, and reinforcement learning.

 

Computer Vision

 

DALLE.2 and Stable Diffusion 2.0 are generative algorithms that use both computer vision and natural language processing techniques to come up with high-quality generative art. Computer vision is generally used for image classification, generation, segmentation, and object detection. 

You can start your computer vision engineer journey by learning OpeCV, Keras, and deep algorithms.  

 

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

 

I know we all are excited about the large language model ChatGPT and Bard AI, and to start your journey in becoming an AI engineer, you need to first master basic natural language processing tools and techniques. 

You will learn about spaCy, classification, vector space, probabilistic models, sequence models, and attention models. 

 

Data Engineering

 

My favorite subject and the backbone of every technology is data engineering. Without it, we will be sharing data through ineffective ways like excel sheets and CSV files. 

By taking the courses, you will learn about modern data tools for gathering, transforming, loading, processing, querying, and managing data so that it can be leveraged by data consumers for operations, and decision-making. Furthermore, you will also learn about workflow orchestration, data warehouse, analytics engineering, batch processing, and streaming.

 

MLOps

 

Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) is a set of practices used to automate, manage, and monitor the machine learning lifecycle. MLOps is driven by software engineering best practices of DevOps. 

By taking these courses, you will learn to streamline the process of developing, experiment tracking, testing, deploying and maintaining machine learning models. Moreover, you will automate testing, data and model versioning, and model monitoring.

 

Conclusion

 

Some of the courses in the second part are simply gems. They are better than paid courses if you ask me. These courses are designed to prepare you for the modern world. You will be learning about the latest algorithms, techniques, software, and technologies. 

I will highly recommend you take DataTalksClub and fast.ai courses to start your machine learning and data engineering career. 

In the second part, we have looked at the top free courses on machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, data engineering, and MLOps.
