DSA-for-ML

Overview

Welcome to DSA-for-ML, a comprehensive repository designed to teach Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) with a focus on Machine Learning applications.
This repository is structured to help beginners and intermediate learners understand algorithms, implement them in code, and see how they can be applied in AI/ML workflows.

---

Goals

• Build a strong foundation in DSA.
• Learn code implementation for all major data structures and algorithms.
• Understand the time and space complexity of algorithms.
• Apply DSA concepts to real-world ML problems.
• Create a portfolio-ready project repository.
