The amateur’s guide to explore machine learning

Hey there!

Welcome aboard!

So, here’s the scoop: I put together this documentation while embarking on my epic journey through the realms of machine learning and data science.

But, here’s the thing: I’ve got a bit of a scatterbrain, and I tend to misplace my logic, methods, algorithms, and, oh, the endless lines of code. 🤯

So, to keep all the genius stuff in one handy place, I’ve crafted this treasure trove. It’s like my own personal cheat sheet to quickly dive into topics when I need ‘em. 📚

Now, let me spill the beans on my secret sauce. Most of the content in here comes from a bunch of free courses, juicy videos, brainy research papers, and some good old dusty books. 📖

And, just in case I’ve messed up the credits, don’t be shy – give me a holler. I’ll make things right ASAP! 🧐

Let’s dive into the wonderful world of ML and data science together, shall we? 🚀🤖📈
