Difference with respect to ml-workshop-x-of-4

[filippo82]

Dear Andy, what's the difference between 1) the two ml-training-intro/advanced repos and 2) the four ml-workshop-1/2/3/4-of-4 repos? I would like to go through one of the two. Which one is the more extensive one? Thanks!

the x-of-4 would be my recommendation. The first 3 are core material, the last one is a mix of advanced topics.

The main difference is that the 1) is a one-day workshop meant as 2 4h sessions, and 2) is a two-day workshop with 4 4h sessions.

If you're patient and a bit more advanced (or after doing these), you can also check out my lecture:

This has slides and videos (and assorted notebooks, but not as principled as the workshops). You can find the videos on youtube as well:

The current iteration of the lecture is at 14 (I'm doing 15 today).
For the later topics you can check last year's course:
https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~amueller/comsw4995s18/schedule/

The material from that course is similar but slightly less polished and you have to download the video files. This years course will complete in a bit over a month.

Dankeschön! I am already following your new course (currently at lecture four). But I was also looking for something more condensed while also reading your book. The x-of-4 will do!

[amueller]

Cool. Yes, that's definitely more condensed. Hope you like the materials. Actually we can keep this open, it's not very clear from the repositories.

Ok! I need to remove some rust from my sklearn knowledge for a coding interview. That's why I was looking for something more condensed. I will definitely let you know if I have any comments but in general your materials are always very clear.
