Machine Learning fundamentals using Python
In this course we will learn the most important aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and more specifically Machine Learning (ML). We will begin by looking into the different problems that can be solved with ML and when and why to use ML. Then we dive into the inner workings of ML.
This course will get you started with the fundamentals of ML. We will put this knowledge into practice by building (and using) our own machine learning models in Python with Scikit-learn, a popular Python library for ML.
Schedule
No public sessions are currently scheduled. We will be pleased to set up an on-site course or to schedule an extra public session (in case of a sufficient number of candidates). Interested? Please contact ABIS.
Intended for
Anyone that wants to use machine learning to solve real-life problems.
Background
Good knowledge of the Python programming language is a prerequisite (see Python fundamentals).
