ATC-MAC-LEARN-PYTHON - Machine Learning using Python

Overview

Duration: 3.0 days

The aim of this course is to provide general proficiency in applying Machine Learning methods in practice. Through the use of the Python programming language and its various libraries and based on a multitude of practical examples this course teaches how to use the most important building blocks of Machine Learning, how to make data modeling decisions, interpret the outputs of the algorithms and validate the results.

Our goal is to give you the skills to understand and use the most fundamental tools from the Machine Learning toolbox confidently and avoid the common pitfalls of Data Sciences applications.
