- The progress I have made since starting to use codecademy is immense! I can study for short periods or long periods at my own convenience - mostly late in the evenings.ChrisCodecademy Learner @ USA
- I felt like I learned months in a week. I love how Codecademy uses learning by practice and gives great challenges to help the learner to understand a new concept and subject.RodrigoCodecademy Learner @ UK
- Brilliant learning experience. Very interactive. Literally a game changer if you're learning on your own.John-AndrewCodecademy Learner @ USA

Frequently asked questions about PyTorch for Classification
There are two broad types of machine learning: regression and classification. Regression models predict numbers. For example, a model predicting the exact temperature of given day would be a regression model. Classification models predict broad categories, like sunny or rainy.
