Machine Learning FAQs

Is machine learning easy to learn?

DataCamp's beginner machine learning courses are a lot of hands-on fun, and they provide an excellent foundation for machine learning to advance your career or business. Within weeks, you'll be able to create models and generate predictions and insights. You'll also learn foundational knowledge of Python and R and the fundamentals of artificial intelligence.

After that, the learning curve gets a bit steeper. Machine learning careers require a deeper understanding of statistics, math, and software engineering, all of which can be mastered at DataCamp.

What is machine learning used for?

In a nutshell, machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence whose algorithms, as they acquire data, produce analytical models and make predictions with little to no human intervention. 

It's difficult to find an industry that doesn't use machine learning. For example, marketers use machine learning to forecast returns on investments in marketing campaigns. Likewise, purchasing departments use machine learning to predict needed inventory.

Businesses of all kinds use machine learning to predict customer behavior, map supply chains, and forecast revenues. Machine learning is used to predict health outcomes and to improve patient satisfaction. Machine learning helps scientists model climate change scenarios, including possible solutions.

More specifically, machine learning is used in smart devices, search engines, and streaming services (when Netflix suggests a show or movie based on your viewing history, that's machine learning). Facial and fingerprint recognition are machine learning, as are online chat boxes.

Machine learning teaches self-driving cars where to go. In addition, it helps banks detect fraud. But you don't have to be in business to leverage machine learning. For example, DataCamp's foundational machine learning classes empower individuals to forecast their finances and even fitness goals. 

What jobs can you get with machine learning skills?

Machine learning skills are valuable in programming, data science, and other computer engineering disciplines. In addition, machine learning is a must for anyone wanting to work in robotics! 

Not all jobs that require machine learning are in tech, though. For example, linguists use machine learning to track ever-changing languages and dialects. In addition, individual departments, such as marketing, accounting, logistics, and purchasing, to name a few, increasingly need machine learning experts to help them make informed business decisions. Knowing machine learning can give you a step up in nearly any position, as modeling and predicting are critical business needs. 

Are machine learning skills in demand?

Robotics and AI are among the fastest-growing disciplines right now, and each field requires machine learning skills. Businesses, non-profits, and government agencies are beginning to take advantage of predictive models to plan for the future. There's a good chance that your department can use people who can create and read those models, even if you aren't in tech.

However, at DataCamp we're, of course, all about the data. And according to the data compiled by LinkedIn, Machine Learning Engineer is the fourth fastest-growing career

But what about numbers 1-3? The top position is Vaccine Specialist, and without machine learning, we might still be sheltering in place with the COVID pandemic. Number two is Diversity and Inclusion Manager, and machine learning is likely the key to overcoming social and algorithmic biases. 

The third fastest-growing job is Customer Marketing Manager, and machine learning helps them analyze and predict customer behavior. If you continue going down LinkedIn's list, it's not hard to imagine that machine learning skills could be in-demand in any of those positions.

How much math do I need to take a machine learning course?

If you're after a higher-level understanding of machine learning, you don't need much math. If you want to dive deeper and make machine learning your career (as opposed to an added value to your existing career), a foundation in statistics and algebra is helpful. If you don't have a mathematical background, that's okay. We'll teach you everything you need, and our instructors are a lot less scary than your high school calculus teacher.

Do I need to download machine learning software to learn on DataCamp?

You do not need to download anything while learning with DataCamp. All the tools we use are web-based.

What is the difference between a free account and a subscription?

DataCamp offers several free courses, including Data Science for Everyone, Data Engineering for Everyone, and of course, Machine Learning for Everyone. If you're unsure about the courses you want to take next, the first class of each course is free.
