mlcourse.ai

mlcourse.ai is a Patreon page supporting the creation and maintenance of a free, open-source machine learning course developed by OpenDataScience (ODS), one of the world's largest IT communities boasting over 40,000 data scientists. Since its launch in June 2017, the course has attracted a community of 241 members, with 4 currently supporting the project through Patreon. While financial support remains modest (estimated at $18-$246 monthly), this reflects a broader commitment to open access education within the data science field. The course's unique value proposition lies in its creation by a prominent, established data science organization, leveraging the collective expertise of ODS and its connection to DataFest, the largest Russian-speaking data science conference. This ensures a high-quality, consistently updated resource benefiting both beginners and experienced practitioners. The community aspect is crucial, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among learners.
