Skills you will learn
What are the course deliverables?
  • The basics of machine learning
  • How to perform cross-validation to avoid overtraining
  • Several popular machine learning algorithms
  • How to build a recommendation system
  • What is regularization and why it is useful
More about this course
  • Perhaps the most popular data science methodologies come from machine learning
  • What distinguishes machine learning from other computer guided decision processes is that it builds prediction algorithms using data
  • Some of the most popular products that use machine learning include the handwriting readers implemented by the postal service, speech recognition, movie recommendation systems, and spam detectors
  • In this course, part of our Professional Certificate Program in Data Science, learner will learn popular machine learning algorithms, principal component analysis, and regularization by building a movie recommendation system
  • Learner will learn about training data, and how to use a set of data to discover potentially predictive relationships
  • As you build the movie recommendation system, learner will learn how to train algorithms using training data so you can predict the outcome for future datasets
  • Learner will also learn about overtraining and techniques to avoid it such as cross-validation
