Machine Learning and AI
The Machine Learning course focuses on predictive modelling and enters multidimensional spaces that require an understanding of mathematical methods, transformations, and distributions. We will introduce these concepts, as well as complex means of analysis such as clustering, factoring, Bayesian inference, and decision theory, while also allowing you to exercise your Python programming skills.
What You Will Learn
- Master foundational machine learning techniques that will take your data analysis skills to the next level
- Build a strong foundation with an in-depth understanding of linear regression and set the stage for advanced machine learning models
- Gain hands-on experience by performing linear regression with sklearn
- Master logistic regression, a critical analysis tool for binary ML problems
- Implement K-means clustering and learn how to leverage clustering techniques in a real-world environment
- Integrate math concepts with hands-on programming skills
