Teaching: Introduction to Machine Intelligence

Abstract

Growing up in an academic environment, I was always awestruck when I saw my mother teaching classes at the University of Delhi. In October 2017, I started collaborating with Coding Blocks, a Nagarro backed ed-tech venture based out of Delhi. On the weekends, I taught hands-on introduction to machine learning.
I tried to implement all my learnings over the last couple of years across several projects and work initiatives. I had a great experience interacting with students across an electic demographic ranging from college freshman to industry professional from fortune-500 companies.

Some critical aspects I tried to focus on:

  • Laying emphasis on building the underlying mathematical logic by implementing all machine learning algorithms from scratch.
  • Exploring the tricks of Data Engineering, processing and augmentation, which I feel are very critical skills in trying to take a project to production.
  • Discussing the ideas behind state-of-art approaches for various tasks and encouraging students to read literature
