I took the Coursera's Machine Learning course in 2017 just because I had some time then. But I didn't work on any related project, back to square one now. A few weeks back I started to revise the course but it's appears to be boring because I know that I've done it already and I feel that I'll forget it once again.

Can you please share how you started and the projects you worked on?

I'm writing an article about it, hopefully I'll post it by next month. What got me started was that when I left my job, I had a hard time explaining how the AI part of the product works. We automated customer service for large e-commerces. I wrote a simple yet buggy neural network in JavaScript and it got me excited. I immediately jumped to building a smart device where I can say "Hey Jaziel" (merged name of my kids) and it can perform a command. My JavaScript model failed.

So I turned to coursera, took the deep learning specialization course by Andrew Ng. In a month, I had a working prototype. Sorry I haven't published it yet, but it will also be posted here. Hopefully it makes it to the front page.
