Up-skill in the Python programming language for Machine Learning

Learn to utilize Python libraries to solve predictive problems (supervised learning) and data clustering problems (unsupervised learning). Study machine learning techniques such as multiple linear regressions (Ridge and Lasso), generalized linear models and classification, clustering, and dimensionality reduction methods (SVM).

Every field of computing is being impacted by Machine Learning: software engineering, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. This course concludes with an opportunity to test, try, and implement a small freelance coding assignment that can be used in your professional portfolio.

Topics

  • Introduction to Machine Learning
  • Playing with built-in datasets
  • Linear regression
  • Polynomial regression
  • Logistic regression
  • Support vector machines
  • Decision trees and random forests
  • K-nearest neighbours
  • Naive Bayes
  • Clustering models
  • Artificial neural networks and deep learning
