Exercises

This page lists the exercises in Machine Learning Crash Course.

The majority of the Programming Exercises use the California housing data set.

Programming exercises run directly in your browser (no setup required!) using the Colaboratory platform. Colaboratory is supported on most major browsers, and is most thoroughly tested on desktop versions of Chrome and Firefox. If you'd prefer to download and run the exercises offline, see these instructions for setting up a local environment.

In March, 2020, this course began using Programming Exercises coded with tf.keras. If you'd prefer to use the legacy Estimators Programming Exercises, you can find them on GitHub.
