Course Overview

Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence which makes use of sample data known as training data to build a model for making predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. It has been applied in many applications such as email filtering, text analysis, sales forecasting, digital marketing, computer vision, healthcare, etc. where it is difficult or unfeasible to develop conventional algorithms to perform the needed tasks. In this course, participants will learn the fundamental concepts of Machine Learning. These include Supervised and Unsupervised Learning methods such as Linear Regression, Logistics Regression, Support Vector Machines, K-Nearest Neighbours, K-Means and Hierarchical Clustering. This course teaches how to use Python to create Machine Learning applications.

Course Objectives

This course aims to:

  • Provide participants with a strong foundation in advanced analytics methods.
  • Provide participants with the necessary knowledge to appreciate the proper application of advanced analytics methods in business applications.
  • Teach participants the use of Python for creating Machine Learning applications.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand various machine learning methods for classifying and clustering data.
  • Use Python to implement Machine Learning methods in business applications.

    Great delivery! Lecturer was effective and engaging! Well established learning materials and very engaging instructors.

    It is a useful course for those with fundamental knowledge in Python.

    Dr Ai Xin teaches the subject extremely well. She explains the concepts in detail., allowing students from different backgrounds and experiences to be able to follow the content. Her materials are well prepared (the Jupyter notebooks) allow us to quickly follow and appreciate how the models can be built on python.

    Great course in understanding ML. The teacher explained it well.

    Professor Ai Xin teaches very well and goes through the content very thoroughly! Good job.

    Really enjoyed the prof teaching.
