Machine Learning Specialization

"AI is the future", well I always thought so and always wanted to know more and more, and here is how I began my journey with Zaka. I'm a computer science student and at my university, I took an AI course where we took some algorithms but I was curious and took the AI BootCamp at Zaka, It was also an amazing experience but I was more curious. Also, another course that was available at the university is machine learning which was interesting, I liked it a lot and I was really interested in reinforcement learning since I was responsible to study and make a small project about it. I also got a lot curious and here I found the tech for inclusivity program which includes the machine learning certification, and that's how I dived deeper into everything related to machine learning in all details. What I liked the most is computer vision, well simply because we all like images and take pictures and those pictures are pixelized into the computer, so letting the computer understand features and extract them, generate captions, or even analyze facial expressions was really exciting to me! I liked this topic a lot to the point that now I want to be a professional in Computer Vision no matter what and I figured out how will this help me with my future goals: I want to work at NASA and analyze space pictures in order to make it easier for the scientists to understand space species and maybe discover new chemicals, this topic clarified and make my goal easier since now I can analyze images and I can extract features and I even can deploy my work!!! Another topic that I liked is reinforcement learning since it lets the AI understand like humans and learn from their mistakes, also I am interested in gaming and I like good boss fights😅 and I know that reinforcement learning is the best algorithm to apply when it comes to game bosses since they are robots with higher strength and capabilities. I was surprised when I studied Time Series Analysis, it was totally new to me and it got my attention, we were able to learn about how to predict an aspect or more based on previous data, so here we are not only analyzing data, but we are taking into consideration the sequence of actions that led to this specific prediction and that was all new to me! At the end of the program, I made a project called space geeks that matches captions with images, and all images are related to space, this project for me is a big first step toward my goal and I am going to always try and change, add or even do new algorithms to make this project better and the most advanced possible! As I said before, the program has helped me achieve a big step forward in my future goal, It also added a lot of value to me since I'm a fresh graduate so now I have 2 certificates at the same time rather than 1, I have now new approaches to solving problems and I can be faced to another kind of problems that I usually get faced to, I have a huge knowledge of new websites, new resources and I can understand how to get the info and search properly about the things I need in new projects, I also have enhanced my python programming skills which I got introduced to in uni for the image processing course, and lastly but not least I am now more independent than ever when it comes to many things: make new projects, design algorithms, deploy new models and also I'm more confident when it comes to write my CV, make interviews and work on my LinkedIn since we got many talks about that stuff. In the future, I'm planning to become a computer vision professional and with Zaka's help, I'm going to achieve this goal! 

Hello I am Zeina Fneish, Management Information Systems bachelor graduate, I come from a different background than AI/ML. I decided to begin my journey in Artificial Intelligence and to be honest I had tough searching for courses and learning by myself, until one day a friend recommended Zaka's course (MLC), and the story begins. It's really an amazing course that's full with all source of information, you don't just learn the algorithms and so on, NO! you get to work and hands-on exercise that allows to understand more how the code is done, and also weekly coding challenges that boosts your learning. The team at Zaka is supportive and helpful and the mentors are great, they help you, mentor you, and answer all sort of questions you have. 

"Let's build bridges, not walls." ( Martin Luther King Jr.) I started with this quote because Zaka is definitely one of those who build bridges to the door of opportunity in the machine learning field. In 16 weeks program, you will see yourself equipped with all the necessary skills to kick off your career in AI. The environment is so friendly, and all the instructors are amazing. They are very experienced in the programs they are teaching. The flow of the program shows the hard work behind it (how it covers all the aspects in a simple yet effective way). I can't find the words to describe all the things inside the program (guidance, mentorships, chitchat, and live talks) they were amazing. The career fair week was great with all the partners of Zaka, an opportunity to increase your connections and to know more about the AI community. I highly recommend this program to all who want to kick off the way in AI. So now I will leverage and enhance my acquired skills in ML and AI by participating in challenges and workshops, also by applying to internships and entry-level roles to gain market experience.  

I've recently completed Zaka's Machine Learning Certification, and this has been one of my life's best decisions.The team at Zaka are such professionals, and their constant support pulls you through 16 weeks of hands-on intensive learning and challenges in the realms of data science and machine learning. By the end of it, you will be a market-ready machine learning engineer!Overall, an experience that I'll never forget

Hello, I'm Kamar Chehimy, a Biomedical Engineer. I am participating in Zaka’s 16 week intensive Machine learning program. It's really hard to find a program that goes over your expectation and it was achieved in Zaka. Everything was well organized and planned from the weekly lessons, challenges, office hours, exams and even the capstone project. You can work for couple of hours without being bored or tired due to the way they deliver the lessons and the challenges they design. The team is very friendly and intelligent. You'll feel comfortable interacting and working with them. You'll absolutely enjoy your time spent on the program. 

I came from a petroleum engineering background, and chose to enter the MLC program for the sake of following the automation trend in oil and gas.The learnt topics are interesting and provide various approaches to design optimized models.I was surprised by the advancement that neural networks can provide to the improvement the accuracies, in addition to the various parameters tuning methodologies.After accumulated knowledge, I made with my partner a voice analysis project that uses deep learning to identify the speech emotions and language fluency.From now on, I am seeking combining my energy background with the unique ML knowledge I gain with Zaka, to support the energy solutions that rely on AI.

Because the field of machine learning is one of the most important areas of the era, I was looking for the best source to cover the basics and practical application in this field, and after a lot of searching and take a lot of courses, I found MLC ZAKA program. and yes everything I want exist here. It was a very special and really fruitful trip that moved me from the basics of machine learning to the machine learning in the deployment.The explanation is clear and direct to the pointThe support of the lecturers is also very excellentand there a challenges after each week, this really made me applied all knowledge and apply it and learn a lot of things.at the final there a capstone project which this gave me a very good experience with working on.My Journey it just begun

This 12-week program was one of the most powerful programs I have ever taken.it starts with basic knowledge about machine learning and then goes step by step into the deep aspects of how a machine acts and performers. through the 12 weeks, we had ongoing support through office hours, mentoring sessions and direct contact with the supervisors through slack.
