Introduction to Machine Learning Using Python

Get an introduction to machine learning using Python. Machine learning is a key skill for data scientists and specialized roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Developers, and other AI focused positions. Many industries depend on practitioners of machine learning to create products that parse, reduce, simplify and categorize data, and then extract actionable intelligence from that data. In this course, you will use Python to learn machine learning concepts, terms and methodology, and gain an intuitive understanding of the mathematics underlying it by building actual applications. The techniques you'll learn can be a starting point to build real-world applications such as search engines, image analysis, bioinformatics, industrial automation, speech recognition, and more.

Prerequisites:

Python programming experience
Knowledge of statistics as covered in an undergraduate level course
