Machine Learning with Python: A Practical Introduction (edX)

This Machine Learning with Python course dives into the basics ofMachine LearningusingPython, an approachable and well-known programming language. You'll learn about Supervised vs Unsupervised Learning, look into how Statistical Modeling relates to Machine Learning, and do a comparison of each.
You'll look at real-life examples of Machine Learning and how it affects society in ways you may not have guessed!
We'll explore many popular algorithms including Classification, Regression, Clustering, and Dimensional Reduction and popular models such asTrain/Test Split, Root Mean Squared Error and Random Forests.
Mostimportantly, you will transform your theoretical knowledge into practical skill using hands-on labs. Get ready to do more learning than your machine!
This course is part of the Python Data Science Professional Certificate and IBM Data Science Professional Certificate.
