Course Description

Given the constantly increasing amounts of data they're faced with, programmers and data scientists have to come up with better solutions to make machines smarter and reduce manual work along with finding solutions to the obstacles faced in between. Python comes to the rescue to craft better solutions and process them effectively. This comprehensive 2-in-1 course teaches you how to perform different machine learning tasks along with fixing common machine learning problems you face in your day-to-day tasks. You will learn how to use labeled datasets to classify objects or predict future values, so that you can provide more accurate and valuable analysis. You will also use unlabelled datasets to do segmentation and clustering, so that you can separate a large dataset into sensible groups. Further to get a complete hold on the technology, you will work with tools using which you can build predictive models in Python. This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible. In the first course, Getting Started with Machine Learning in Python, you will learn how to use labeled datasets to classify objects or predict future values, so that you can provide more accurate and valuable analysis. You will then use unlabelled datasets to do segmentation and clustering, so that you can separate a large dataset into sensible groups. You will also learn to understand and estimate the value of your dataset. Next, you will learn how to clean data for your application, and how to recognize which machine learning task you are dealing with.
The second course, Building Predictive Models with Machine Learning and Python, will introduce you to tools with which you can build predictive models with Python, the core of a Data Scientist's toolkit. Through some really interesting examples, the course will take you through a variety of challenges: predicting the value of a house in Boston, the batting average of a baseball player, their survival chances had they been on the Titanic, or any other number of other interesting problems. By the end of this course, you will be able to take the Python machine learning toolkit and apply it to your own projects to build and deploy machine learning models in just a few lines of code.
Meet Your Expert(s): We have the best work of the following esteemed author(s) to ensure that your learning journey is smooth: Colibri Digital is a technology consultancy company founded in 2015 by James Cross and Ingrid Funie. The company works to help its clients navigate the rapidly changing and complex world of emerging technologies, with deep expertise in areas such as big data, data science, Machine Learning, and cloud computing. Over the past few years, they have worked with some of the world's largest and most prestigious companies, including a tier 1 investment bank, a leading management consultancy group, and one of the world's most popular soft drinks companies, helping each of them to make better sense of its data, and process it in more intelligent ways. The company lives by its motto: Data -> Intelligence -> Action. Rudy Lai is the founder of QuantCopy, a sales acceleration startup using AI to write sales emails to prospects. By taking in leads from your pipelines, QuantCopy researches them online and generates sales emails from that data. It also has a suite of email automation tools to schedule, send, and track email performance- "key analytics that all feed-back into how our AI generates content. Prior to founding QuantCopy, Rudy ran HighDimension.IO, a Machine Learning consultancy, where he experienced firsthand the frustrations of outbound sales and prospecting. As a founding partner, he helped startups and enterprises with HighDimension.IO's Machine-Learning-as-a-Service, allowing them to scale up data expertise in the blink of an eye. In the first part of his career, Rudy spent 5+ years in quantitative trading at leading investment banks such as Morgan Stanley. This valuable experience allowed him to witness the power of data, but also the pitfalls of automation using data science and Machine Learning. Quantitative trading was also a great platform from which to learn about reinforcement learning in depth, and supervised learning topics in a commercial setting. Rudy holds a Computer Science degree from Imperial College London, where he was part of the Dean's List, and received awards such as the Deutsche Bank Artificial Intelligence prize.Who this course is for:

This course is aimed at novice data scientists and developers who want to get started with machine learning in Python. Developers who are curious about building and deploying machine learning-based models will find that this course will guide them to understand why some models are better than others at tackling certain challenges.
