Question

What skills are needed for machine learning jobs?

Answer 1

Linear Algebra, Probability, Basic optimization techniques like gradient descent, most commonly used machine learning models like Naive Bayes, Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks, dimensionality reduction, and k-means Clustering. Practical experience of some of these will help.

Knowledge of bias-variance trade-off, validation procedures, common performance metrics such as accuracy, precision-recall, etc. is also really important.

Programming knowledge of one scripting language and one object-oriented language is a must.

While equipping yourself with above, you will naturally end up knowing one or more Machine Learning packages, which is also a must.
