Recently, I shared a list of some courses that were useful in my transition to machine learning.

While I took most of the courses in person, there are some alternative online courses you can check out.

Here is a thread of a few interesting online courses based on the list:

⭐️ Linear Algebra ⭐️

A classical online course by Professor Gilbert Strang based on his popular textbook "Introduction to Linear Algebra". Learn about matrix theory and systems of equations.

https://t.co/GarhvVxXhG
⭐️ Introduction to Complex Analysis ⭐️

Learn about the geometry of complex numbers.

https://t.co/DgMuMCgAhr
⭐️ Differential Calculus ⭐️

Pay close attention to the chain rule as it's heavily referenced in machine learning, specifically when discussing optimization. This course is part of a specialization called MathTrackX. I recommend checking that as well.

https://t.co/H4hK05t44b
⭐️ Information Theory ⭐️

When you are working with machine learning algorithms applied to data you are dealing with information processing which in essence relies on ideas from information theory such as entropy. This course should provide the basics.

https://t.co/ETeMiwTry1
⭐️ Data Mining Specialization ⭐️

The courses in this specialization provide a great overview of data mining techniques used for structured and unstructured data.

https://t.co/oGzoOGOMnU
⭐️ Algorithms ⭐️

In machine learning, we are programming sophisticated algorithms and it's important to understand key concepts in this subject before jumping straight into ML algorithms. In general, an Algorithms course builds a strong CS foundation.

https://t.co/bdlXphoJud
⭐️ Mathematics for Machine Learning Specialization ⭐️

Note: Includes courses for multivariate calculus and linear algebra. One of my favorite courses due to the quality of lectures and focused topics.

https://t.co/3Uf3iuni3z
⭐️ Statistics with Python Specialization ⭐️

This course is focused on the basics of statistics which is important when dealing with uncertainties, modeling, inference, etc. Although the courses focus on Python, there are other options using R as well.

https://t.co/yZOUQBTZNI
⭐️ An Intuitive Introduction to Probability ⭐️

Probability can become a difficult topic but it's a core concept of building probabilistic prediction models. This course can provide an intuitive introduction to core topics like conditional probability.

https://t.co/sGirM58T9p
Exposure to topics in these courses can help improve your knowledge/intuition needed to transition to machine learning.

The list is not exhaustive so if you have any courses you recommend, please reply below. In time, I will prepare a better and more focused ramping up guide.

You asked. So here are my thoughts on how osteopathic medical students should respond to the NBOME.

(thread)


Look, even before the Step 2 CS cancellation, my DMs and email were flooded with messages from osteopathic medical students who are fed up with the NBOME.

There is *real* anger toward this organization. Honestly, more than I even heard about from MD students and the NBME.

The question is, will that sentiment translate into action?

Amorphous anger on social media is easy to ignore. But if that anger gets channeled into organized efforts to facilitate change, then improvements are possible.

This much should be clear: begging the NBOME to reconsider their Level 2-PE exam is a waste of your time.

Best case scenario, you’ll get another “town hall” meeting, a handful of platitudes, and some thoughtful beard stroking before being told that they’re keeping the exam.

Instead of complaining to the NBOME, here are a few things that are more likely to bring about real change.
Our preprint on the impact of reopening schools on reproduction number in England is now available online: https://t.co/CpfUGzAJ2S. With @Jarvis_Stats @amyg225 @kerrylmwong @KevinvZandvoort @sbfnk + John Edmunds. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED. 1/


We used contact survey data collected by CoMix (
https://t.co/ezbCIOgRa1) to quantify differences in contact patterns during November (Schools open) and January (Schools closed) 'Lockdown periods'. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 2/

We combined this analysis with estimates of susceptibility and infectiousness of children relative to adults from literature. We also inferred relative susceptibility by fitting R estimates from CoMix to EpiForecasts estimates(https://t.co/6lUM2wK0bn). NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 3/


We estimated that reopening all schools would increase R by between 20% to 90% whereas reopening primary or secondary schools alone would increase R by 10% to 40%, depending on the infectiousness/susceptibility profile we used. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 4/


Assuming a current R of 0.8 (in line with Govt. estimates: https://t.co/ZZhCe79zC4). Reopening all schools would increase R to between 1.0 and 1.5 and reopening either primary or secondary schools would increase R to between 0.9 and 1.2. NOT YET PEER REVIEWED 5/
