Python for Machine Learning (UT-PY-4ML)

Course Description

Master the skills to use machine learning in your day-to-day work with this Python course. Create algorithms to predict classes, continuous values, and more.

This course is designed for the student who already knows some Python and is ready to dive deeper into using those Python skills for Machine Learning. With a focus on SciKit Learn, you’ll learn all aspects of Machine Learning ranging from a variety of regression types (Linear / Lasso /Ridge), Elastic Net, K Nearest Neighbors and Means Clustering, Hierarchal Clustering, DBSCAN, PCA, and Model Deployment.

This course includes 6-months access to the full course content in on-demand format to support post-class reference and review.
