This course primarily uses Python, the most common language for machine learning. You'll learn how to implement supervised learning algorithms using libraries like scikit-learn.
While prior experience in machine learning is not required, basic programming knowledge, especially in Python, will be helpful for understanding the code examples and assignments.
The course includes practical assignments where you will apply supervised learning techniques to real-world datasets. Projects include building models for tasks such as classification and regression.
Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where the model is trained on a labelled dataset, meaning the input data is paired with the correct output. The goal is for the model to learn from this data and make predictions on new, unseen data.
Unsupervised learning involves training a model on data without labels. It focuses on finding patterns or structures in the data, such as clustering and dimensionality reduction techniques like k-means clustering and principal component analysis (PCA).
The main difference between supervised and unsupervised learning is the presence of labels in the training data. In supervised learning, data is labelled, meaning each input comes with the correct output. In unsupervised learning, the model must find patterns and relationships in data without any labels.
