Does anyone of any sites like projecteuler.net where I can find
beginner level problems like the ones which can be solved using the
knowledge gained from ML class or atleast build from that. Kaggle
seems to be for more experienced people.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you want to practice ML, here is one classification problem:
http://yaroslavvb.blogspot.com/2011/09/notmnist-dataset.html

The goal is to predict whether a 28x28 picture is A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
H, I or J.

You can use the dataset to practice:
1) Look at learning curses. See how the number of examples improves
accuracy.
2) Recognize high bias or high variance. And lower them.
3) Get the best possible accuracy on a validation set. Use anything
you want to get there.
Can you get above 80%? I can help you, if you get stuck.

Note that the labels are 0 to 9 here. Add 1 to them, if you want to
have y in range 1 to 10.

Looks interesting. Thank you Ivo.
