Machine Learning with Python: A Practical Introduction
Machine Learning can be an incredibly beneficial tool to uncover hidden insights and predict future trends. This Machine Learning with Python course will give you all the tools you need to get started with supervised and unsupervised learning.
About this course
This Machine Learning with Python course dives into the basics of Machine Learning using Python, an approachable and well-known programming language. You’ll learn about Supervised vs Unsupervised Learning, look into how Statistical Modeling relates to Machine Learning, and do a comparison of each.
You’ll look at real-life examples of Machine Learning and how it affects society in ways you may not have guessed!
We’ll explore many popular algorithms including Classification, Regression, Clustering, and Dimensional Reduction and popular models such asTrain/Test Split, Root Mean Squared Error and Random Forests.
Most importantly, you will transform your theoretical knowledge into practical skill using hands-on labs. Get ready to do more learning than your machine!
