Haha! the title is trippy.

Before you read any further I just want to ask you to give 10 stars to the blog if you are reading it, it really helps with the reach and takes only 2-3 seconds of your time.

 I just started learning machine learning a week ago. And so far I am not sure whether I will continue to learn it or not. Writing this blog may help me reach a decision. So here I am writing my experience of learning machine learning.

I started learning ML not because I was interested in it, not because I needed to learn it as it is part of my degree i.e mechanical engineering as many of you may know. I started learning it because I was very bored and had nothing to do. So I thought I want to make games. I know how to program a basic enemy model which can just follow you like in subway surfers, shoot if you come in its range, and many more simple things. You get the idea. But that was not enough, I want to make AI that can do more complicated stuff like how bots play complicated games like FIFA, DOTA2, and WWE where they respond and even predict players' moves.

So, I searched for how to make such powerful AI models and I came across the term known as, "Reinforced Learning".I literally felt sexual attraction towards things that Reinforced Learning can do. So I made up my mind to learn it and give it all of my free time.

 But to learn it I first needed to understand the basics of machine learning i.e algorithms like Linear Regression, KNN(K- Nearest Neighbours), SVM(Support Vector Machine), and boring stuff like to get data in the right form to train the AI model. So I didn't give up thinking it would take at least 5 months to learn things that are just pre-requisites for learning, Reinforced learning, and just started toiling through different sources until I found Professor Andrew Ng and his legendary course on the basics of Machine Learning. I started following his lectures but there was a problem i.e he was using R-Language to teach, which is new for me. I know how to work with python and I know that in old days R used to be the standard for machine learning but now it is python.

So I thought what to do now?

I started watching his lectures just to get the theory and the maths part of the algorithms I wanted to learn.I will see what to do about programming when he will get to it.
