American Company Amazon Offers Free Machine Learning Course

Amazon India has launched its third Machine Learning Summer School, providing a comprehensive exploration of essential ML technologies to engineering students expected to graduate in 2024 or 2025, and it's completely free of charge.

Amazon India has initiated the third iteration of its Machine Learning (ML) Summer School, a program tailored to provide students with extensive exposure to crucial ML technologies and industry insights directly from Amazon scientists. This equips them with the skills needed to kickstart a career in the field.

The ML Summer School is a complimentary, immersive learning opportunity for engineering graduates, featuring eight modules spread across four weekends in September, focusing on machine learning.

This initiative strives to establish a robust educational and hands-on groundwork in subjects including Supervised Learning, Deep Neural Networks, Probabilistic Graphical Models, Dimensionality Reduction, and Unsupervised Learning.

What distinguishes Amazon's ML Summer School 

It is its unique approach, which combines practical applications with theoretical knowledge. The curriculum, expertly crafted by industry professionals, also incorporates scientific content from universities. This fusion of academic principles and industry insights equips students with a well-rounded preparation for the real-world challenges they will encounter.

Since its launch in 2021, the Amazon ML Summer School has experienced remarkable growth, attracting a staggering 17,500 registrations in 2022 from engineering students across India.
