Phase 1: Core Python & Math for ML
Even if you know Python, strengthening your skills in data
manipulation and understanding mathematical concepts is essential. 1. Learn Python for Data Science Libraries to Focus On: o NumPy – Numerical computing o Pandas – Data manipulation o Matplotlib/Seaborn – Data visualization Practice: o Solve small projects like data analysis (Kaggle datasets). 2. Math Essentials Linear Algebra – Vectors, matrices, dot product (Khan Academy or 3Blue1Brown videos) Statistics & Probability – Mean, variance, distributions, hypothesis testing Calculus – Derivatives, gradients (needed for neural networks) Resources: Khan Academy - Linear Algebra & Statistics 3Blue1Brown (YouTube) Coursera – Mathematics for Machine Learning Phase 2: Core Machine Learning Concepts Start with simple models, then gradually move to advanced techniques. 1. Introduction to ML Supervised Learning: Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees Unsupervised Learning: K-Means Clustering, PCA Reinforcement Learning (Optional for now) 2. Tools and Frameworks Scikit-Learn – Classical ML models TensorFlow/PyTorch – Deep learning (start with TensorFlow) XGBoost/LightGBM – For advanced models Resources: Coursera – Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning Course (Highly Recommended) Google’s Machine Learning Crash Course Fast.ai – Practical Deep Learning
Phase 3: Data Collection & Preprocessing
Learn Web Scraping (for collecting data) – Use BeautifulSoup and Scrapy. Data Cleaning – Handle missing data, outliers, and normalization. Feature Engineering – Extract and create relevant features from raw data. Practice Projects: Web scrape e-commerce sites to predict product prices. Collect and preprocess health data for prediction models.
Phase 4: Advanced ML & Deep Learning
1. Neural Networks Concepts: Perceptron, Backpropagation Framework: TensorFlow or PyTorch Practice: Build a basic digit recognizer (MNIST dataset). 2. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) Used for image-related projects (Virtual Dressing Room, Handwriting Recognition). Projects: Image classification, object detection. 3. Natural Language Processing (NLP) Libraries: NLTK, Transformers (Hugging Face), SpaCy Projects: Chatbot, text summarizer.
Phase 5: Model Deployment (Integrating ML with Web Dev)
Now you’ll combine your ML models with web development. 1. Deploying Models Flask/FastAPI – Use Flask to wrap ML models into APIs. Docker – Containerize your model for deployment. AWS/Heroku – Deploy models to the cloud. 2. Full Integration Use your MERN stack to build the frontend/backend. Connect the Flask API (ML model) to your React frontend. Example Workflow: 1. Train an image recognition model using TensorFlow. 2. Create an API using Flask to serve predictions. 3. Build a React app to upload images and show results.
Phase 6: Real-World Projects (Portfolio Building)
Health Prediction App – Disease prediction based on user symptoms. Virtual Dressing Room – Image segmentation using CNNs. Campus Navigator – Path optimization using Dijkstra’s algorithm. Handwriting Recognition – OCR using CNN/LSTM.
