About the Course

This course dives into the basic of machine learning using Python, an approachable and well-known programming language. You will learn about supervised and unsupervised learning, analyze the relation between statistical modelling and machine learning through comparisons.

You will also look into real-life examples to look at the various ways that machine learning affects the society. You will also explore many algorithms and models –

  • Popular algorithms: Classification, Regression, Clustering, Dimensional Reduction
  • Popular models: Train/Test Split, Root Mean Squared Error, Random Forests

Most importantly, this course will transform your theoretical knowledge into practical skills through experience at many hands-on labs.
