Welcome to the Machine Learning course! In this course, you will gain an in-depth introduction to building machine-learning models using Python. In this course, you will initially recapitulate the key Python libraries which are useful for Data Science applications. This includes coverage of Python libraries like Matplotlib, NumPy, and pandas. Next, you are introduced to the basics of machine learning, and the various classification and regression techniques are discussed. Also, the implementation of these techniques using the popular scikit-learn package is covered in detail. Artificial neural networks and the concept of deep learning is next explored with hands-on implementation of regression and classification algorithms using TensorFlow. As businesses increasingly draw insights from unstructured data (text, images, etc.), you would also get insights into neural networks-based deep learning models for the analysis of text and images. This is an advanced-level course, intended for learners with a background using predictive tools and techniques, and a basic understanding of Python programming concepts. The knowledge you gain from this course will help your career as a business analyst or a data engineer and even work toward becoming a data scientist. You will gain skills to apply machine learning algorithms to structured and unstructured data to draw management insights. Data science is an exciting new field used by various organizations to perform data-driven decisions. It is a combination of technical knowledge, mathematics, and business. In this module, we will use Python, one of the most popular languages among all the languages used by data scientists. We will also understand various topics of data science and how to apply them in a real-world scenario.
