Python is a core skill in machine learning, and this course equips you with the tools to apply it effectively. You’ll learn key ML concepts, build models with scikit-learn, and gain hands-on experience using Jupyter Notebooks.
Start with regression techniques like linear, multiple linear, polynomial, and logistic regression. Then move into supervised models such as decision trees, K-Nearest Neighbors, and support vector machines. You’ll also explore unsupervised learning, including clustering methods and dimensionality reduction with PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP. Through real-world labs, you’ll practice model evaluation, cross-validation, regularization, and pipeline optimization. A final project on rainfall prediction and a course-wide exam will help you apply and reinforce your skills. Enroll now to start building machine learning models with confidence using Python.

I'm extremely excited with what I have learnt so far. As a newbie in Machine Learning, the exposure gained will serve as the much needed foundation to delve into its application to real life problems.
RN
Labs were incredibly useful as a practical learning tool which therefore helped in the final assignment! I wouldn't have done well in the final assignment without it together with the lecture videos!
JL
I am happy to have this online education, I drop out my nuclear engineering degree, I am happy to learn practical things with future... I work for IBM also...but I want to become a data scientis

This is a very good start for Machine leaning with Python. I didnt have much idea about ML concepts but this course gave me great understanding on each topic and lot of learning. Awesome Course !!

In peer graded assignments, if someone is grading any peer below passing criteria then it must be compulsory to let the learner know his mistakes or shortcomings because of which he does not graded.

This course was a great taster for machine learning techniques. My only recommendation would be to add more explanation on tuning techniques for models and cover more of the supporting mathematics.

This course walks us through the fundamentals of machine learning methods. The capstone project is very useful for those who have previous knowledge of machine learning and Python programming.
AG
Quite an informative course, well presented material without being overbearing for newcomers to ML. Highly recommended to everyone with prior CS experience who wants to get into AI/ML workloads.
FG
Very informative course, showing mostly how to use many different Machine Learning techniques. Although mathematical details are not discussed much, the intuition of the methods are discussed.
AJ
This was a very informative course. The videos provided a good background on the concepts and I found the labs especially helpful for learning to implement Python code for each technique covered.
ND
This course is a great way to start learning about ML, as it sets out what you need to do step-by-step, explains very clearly why, and gives you a chance to experiment and practise. Thank you IBM!
