This course is intended for individuals looking to enhance their machine-learning skills, particularly those interested in GPU-accelerated AI workflows and NVIDIA technologies.
Welcome to Week 1 of the NVIDIA: Fundamentals of Machine Learning course. This week, we will explore ML Basics and Data Preprocessing, starting with an introduction to the course and best practices for exam success. We will define machine learning and set expectations for the Fundamentals of Machine Learning course. As we progress, we will differentiate between AI, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning and examine the types of machine learning. We will also cover the key steps involved in the machine-learning process. By the end of the week, we will dive into data preprocessing essentials, understanding its significance in machine learning workflows. A demo session on data preprocessing will provide hands-on insights into preparing data for model training.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
