Machine Learning in Python

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
In this course, we will provide an introduction on machine learning and how to utilize machine learning models to solve business problems. We will teach you the steps necessary to create a successful machine learning application with Python. We will focus on the practical aspects of using machine learning models to solve business problems, evaluating the models and improving the model performance by tuning hyperparameters.

PREREQUISITES
We will provide some learning resources for students to pick up on python programming in week 1 but it will be much better if students have some basic Python programming background.
