Courses

• Fast AI (http://course.fast.ai/lessons/lessons.html). If you do not have a few weeks/months to spend on machine learning, you should audit this course. It will get you started in applied machine learning.
• Machine Learning by Andrew NG (https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning). This is perhaps the best introductory course for machine learning. If you have around 1-2 months, you should take this course.

Deep Learning for Computer Vision

If you are looking for a specific course in Computer Vision or Natural Language Processing, you should take the following courses as well. They are regarded as one of the best courses in NLP and CV.
