    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are the questions we receive most often:

    Is machine learning very difficult?

    Machine learning can be a complex and challenging field to learn, but it is not impossible. It requires a strong foundation in programming and mathematics, as well as a deep understanding of machine learning algorithms and techniques. However, with dedication, persistence, and proper guidance, anyone can learn machine learning.

    Is Python enough for machine learning?

    Python is one of the most popular programming languages used in machine learning due to its ease of use and versatility. It provides a wide range of libraries and frameworks that make it easier to implement machine learning algorithms. However, to become a proficient machine learning engineer, you also need to have knowledge of linear algebra, calculus, statistics, and other related fields.

    How to pick a machine learning course?
    When choosing a machine learning course, it is essential to consider factors such as the course curriculum, the instructor’s experience, the format of the course, and the level of difficulty. Heicoders’ courses offer practical training, real-world projects, and opportunities to network with other professionals in the field.
    How can I start a career in machine learning?

    To start a career in machine learning, you need to have a strong foundation in programming and mathematics, as well as knowledge of machine learning algorithms and techniques. You can start by taking online courses, reading books and research papers, and practising on real-world problems. It is also beneficial to build a strong portfolio of machine learning projects to showcase your skills and knowledge to potential employers.

    What is applied machine learning?

    Applied machine learning involves using machine learning algorithms to solve real-world problems, such as predicting consumer behaviour, detecting fraud, or diagnosing medical conditions. It focuses on the practical application of machine learning techniques to specific use cases and requires a strong understanding of machine learning algorithms and programming languages.

    Read our blog to learn more about what applied machine learning is and why it is important.

    What are the different types of applied machine learning?

    There are several types of applied machine learning, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, and reinforcement learning. In supervised learning, the model is trained on labelled data to make predictions on new data. In unsupervised learning, the model is trained on unlabeled data to identify patterns and relationships. In semi-supervised learning, the model is trained on a combination of labelled and unlabeled data. In reinforcement learning, the model learns by trial and error through interaction with an environment.

    Will students be provided recorded sessions to revise the weekly lectures?
    Lesson Recordings Are Provided

    You are welcome to use the lesson recordings and materials for reference whenever you need a review of a particular lesson. Our Heicoders curriculum team takes great pride in documenting the class content thoroughly, so feel free to go through the lesson materials at your own pace. You could always reach out to your Teaching Assistants as well if you have questions outside of class.

    I just registered for the course and am a NTUC Union member. How do I apply for the UTAP subsidy?
    Instructions

    The UTAP subsidy is disbursed by NTUC to eligible students on a reimbursement basis. After completing the course, Heicoders students can then apply on the NTUC website for reimbursement, and upon approval they would usually receive a direct deposit from NTUC to their bank accounts within two to three weeks. You may find more details on the eligibility requirements and claims process on this NTUC UTAP website. On Heicoders’ end, we provide a PDF step-by-step guide on how to submit the claim to all students at the end of the course.
