Introduction to Machine Learning using Python: Classification at UOA Online https://intersect.org.au/training/schedule https://dresa.org.au/events/introduction-to-machine-learning-using-python-classification-at-uoa-online-d4093c47-e816-465d-86c2-114d85d12d88 Machine Learning (ML) is a new way to program computers to solve real world problems. It has gained popularity over the last few years by achieving tremendous success in tasks that we believed only humans could solve, from recognising images to self-driving cars. In this course, we will explore the fundamentals of Machine Learning from a practical perspective with the help of the Python programming language and its scientific computing libraries. #### You'll learn: - Comprehensive introduction to Machine Learning models and techniques such as Logistic Regression, Decision Trees and Ensemble Learning. - Know the differences between various core Machine Learning models. - Understand the Machine Learning modelling workflows. - Use Python and scikit-learn to process real datasets, train and apply Machine Learning models #### Prerequisites: Either [Learn to Program: Python](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python101/), [Data Manipulation in Python](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python201/) and [Introduction to ML using Python: Introduction & Linear Regression](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python205/) or [Learn to Program: Python](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python101/), [Data Manipulation and Visualisation in Python](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python203/) and [Introduction to ML using Python: Introduction & Linear Regression](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/python205/) needed to attend this course.
