Machine Learning, a component of Artificial Intelligence, has been understanding unexpectedly sophisticated tasks in the last decade. It has been able to perform a wide range of complex tasks, from image recognition to translation. This has aroused great interest among students and people from many fields. We have designed these machine learning lessons to enable everyone to learn clearly without touching on the surface. This machine learning class is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge and to be the first step in turning learners into skilled professionals. Each topic in the syllabus is a gateway to practical educational experience, not just memorizing theorems (theoretical). Before diving into the practical applications, we establish a solid theoretical foundation. We explain not only how each stone tool concept, algorithm, and technique works, but also where and why they should be used.
