A+ guide to using Machine Learning to classify objects, predict future prices, and automatically learn fixes to problemsAbout This VideoLearn about supervised learning: how to classify data points and predict future numbersPractical exercises on unsupervised learning: how to segment clients and cluster documentsIntuition-driven practical tour through Machine Learning, packed with step-by-step instructions, working examples, and helpful adviceIn DetailMachine Learning is a hot topic. And you want to get involved! From developers to analysts, this course aims to bring Machine Learning to those with coding experience and numerical skills.In this course, we introduce, via intuition rather than theory, the core of what makes Machine Learning work. Learn how to use labeled datasets to classify objects or predict future values, so that you can provide more accurate and valuable analysis. Use unlabelled datasets to do segmentation and clustering, so that you can separate a large dataset into sensible groups.You will learn to understand and estimate the value of your dataset. We guide you through creating the best performance metric for your task at hand, and how that takes you to the correct model to solve your problem. Understand how to clean data for your application, and how to recognize which Machine Learning task you are dealing with. If you want to move past Excel and if-then-else into automatically learned ML solutions, this course is for you!This course uses Python 3.6, while not the latest version available, it provides relevant and informative content for legacy users of Python.
