About the Course

This course will introduce the learner to applied machine learning, focusing more on the techniques and methods than on the statistics behind these methods. The course will start with a discussion of how machine learning is different than descriptive statistics, and introduce the scikit learn toolkit through a tutorial. The issue of dimensionality of data will be discussed, and the task of clustering data, as well as evaluating those clusters, will be tackled. Supervised approaches for creating predictive models will be described, and learners will be able to apply the scikit learn predictive modelling methods while understanding process issues related to data generalizability (e.g. cross validation, overfitting). The course will end with a look at more advanced techniques, such as building ensembles, and practical limitations of predictive models. By the end of this course, students will be able to identify the difference between a supervised (classification) and unsupervised (clustering) technique, identify which technique they need to apply for a particular dataset and need, engineer features to meet that need, and write python code to carry out an analysis. This course should be taken after Introduction to Data Science in Python and Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python and before Applied Text Mining in Python and Applied Social Analysis in Python....

Very well structured course, and very interesting too! Has made me want to pursue a career in machine learning. I originally just wanted to learn to program, without true goal, now I have one thanks!!

Knowledgeable teacher but still need to improve some presentations to limit the need to get extra resources for understanding the materials

Excellent lectures. However, I would have needed more guidance for the last assignment. I learned a lot, but through pain and struggle.

This course is useful, but the code is not updated, and the assignment and Module codes returned a lot of code deprecation warnings.

excellent course, except for the last week. I think that the last part about decision trees, NN and randomforest could be better

Unlike the name suggests, this course only covers the Supervised learning side of the ML. However, the supervised side is good.

Everybody has different skill levels, but this was really hard and really, really, really fast.

Did I say it was really fast?

Course content is very nice and covered aptly. I feel that some where more depth was necessary to understand the algorithms.

Tough, but fair weekly assessments. Lecturer is a bit on the dry, boring side. Be careful not to let you attention drift.
