Learning Journey

Going beyond the theory, our approach invites participants into a conversation, where learning is facilitated by live subject matter experts and enriched by practitioners in the field of machine learning:

  • Define a model for your data and make the model learn.

  • Build regression models to predict an unknown output from a given set of inputs.

  • Create classification models to categorize datasets such as email messages as spam or non-spam.

  • Develop unsupervised models like topic models or recommender systems to extract hidden patterns from large amounts of data

  • Determine hidden parameters in data to improve the accuracy of your model's predictions.

  • Create probabilistic data models to predict a range of possible outcomes that account for real-world risks and uncertainties.

Program Topics

Designed to teach you models and methods used in machine learning for real-world applications such as recommender systems and classification models, this 5-month program begins by building your foundational skills in Python, followed by the supervised and unsupervised learning techniques of applied machine learning.

Application Projects

Decorative image relating to Movie Recommendation Engine

Movie Recommendation Engine

You will build a movie recommendation engine by applying collaborative filtering and topic modelling techniques. You use a dataset which contains 20 million viewer ratings of 27,000 movies.

Decorative image relating to House Price Prediction

House Price Prediction

You will write code to predict house prices based on several parameters available in the Ames City dataset compiled by Dean De Cock using least squares linear regression and Bayesian linear regression.

 Decorative image relating to Human Activity Prediction

Human Activity Prediction

You will predict the human activity (walking, sitting, standing) that corresponds to the accelerometer and gyroscope measurements by applying the nearest neighbours technique.

 Decorative image relating to Credit Card Fraud Detection

Credit Card Fraud Detection

You will detect potential frauds using credit card transaction data. You will apply the random forest method to identify fraudulent transactions.

 Decorative image relating to Marketing Segmentation

Marketing Segmentation

You will create market segments using the US Census dataset and by applying the k-means clustering method.
