Duration: 3 Days
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 in 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.
This module is part of Professional Certificate in Machine Learning Using Python.
