Overview
Machine learning has proven its applicability for wide range of applications such as web search, self-driving cars or speech recognition. For many real-world problems (consider, for example, image classification), the state-of-the-art solutions are learned from data instead of being implemented explicitly as computer programmes.
The course covers both theoretical foundations and practical techniques of machine learning. The former is based on preceding topics of overall Data Science programme curriculum: calculus, probability, linear algebra. The latter will be helpful in subsequent modules: Python for massive data analysis, Mapreduce (large-scale machine learning), Machine Learning – 2, Text Mining, Neural Networks.
Learning highlights
- Recognise machine learning problems in real-world situations
- Train and properly evaluate machine learning models on real data
- Choose suitable machine learning algorithms for particular problems
