Machine Learning is a subject with a lot of very good expertise and tutorials. It is best to tap on these resources, as they have good production quality and are more condensed. However, we still recommend in-class lectures as they are helpful in building better connection with the materials. Students are highly encouraged to listen to The Video Lectures of Prof. Yaser Abu-Mostafa.
