I’m doing my homework from a class called “environmental modeling”. The homework is designed to help us student understand how genetic programming works and how to train better predictors. Up until one month ago, I had no idea what genetic programming is.

As I become more interested in the field of machine learning, more procrastinating on the homework and increasingly indulging myself on web searches, I, probably like a lot of others, have become overwhelmingly drawn by the idea of self learning ML.

Upon someone’s comforting assurance that there are ways to become mastery of machine learning without knowing enough math first, I decided to start my journey and have Medium as my studying diary.

Wish me luck if you happen to be reading this.
