Thanks. Can you list what courses one should focus on as a baseline to do research in ML? You mentioned Probability theory & Linear algebra, but what specific topics in those areas should one learn? Any other fields of math?

Probability, statistics and linear algebra are recommended because all of machine learning uses these as foundations. Any graduate level course in these areas will cover what you could possibly need. For people working in the more theoretical side of machine learning, maybe some analysis (functional specifically) might be useful.
