What you will learn

wk6-feature

The course is extremely interactive and hands-on. You will learn by working through concrete problems with a real dataset. You will be taught by academic and industry experts in the field, who have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share

Preprocessing (scaling, log transformations, imputation, one hot coding)
Exploratory data analysis and interactive visualisation
Unsupervised learning (k-means clustering, DBSCAN)
Supervised learning (KNN, decision trees, random forests)
Model Evaluation and Tuning

Languages and libraries:

Python 3
Numpy and Pandas for data manipulation
Scikit-learn
Matplotlib for visualisation

PREREQUISITES
