Introduction to Machine Learning

Learn how to apply various Machine Learning techniques for everyday business problems

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

This one-day workshop will introduce you to Machine Learning using Python, to analyze, draw intelligence and build powerful models using real-world datasets. You’ll gain the knowledge to apply data processing and machine learning techniques, and more importantly, understand how to improve on solutions so that they become more optimal for a specific purpose.

This intensive workshop will introduce you to Machine Learning using Python. At the end of the workshop you’ll know how to build and optimize your own automated classifier to extract insights from real-world data sets.

12:00 |—–PREPROCESSING AND EXPLORING DATA

13:00 |—–LUNCH BREAK

14:00 |—–BUILD AND EVALUATE A KNN CLASSIFIER

15:00 |—–BUILD AND EVALUATE A NAIVE BAYES CLASSIFIER

16:00 |—–MORE ON CLASSIFIER EVALUATION AND PARAMETER TUNING

17:00 |—–CLOSING (Wrap-up and successful participation certificates)

IS IT FOR ME?

  • Do I need any programming experience to attend?
    You don’t need previous experience in Python as the workshop will cover the basics. Nonetheless, it is useful if you’ve done programming in another programming language.
  • What will I be doing?
    In a single day you will implement, evaluate and optimize your own automated classifier using Python for a real-world dataset. As part of this workshop, you will familiarize yourself with several classification algorithms.
  • What age is this for?
    This workshop is suitable for university students and professionals.
  • Do I need a computer?
    It is best if you bring your own laptop.
  • What’s the experience like?
    The workshops are very hands-on and you will learn by doing. After the first 30 minutes of the workshop you will already be coding! Our instructors are always there to help you if you get stuck.
