Object & Purpose of the Program
The purpose of the “Advanced Python with Applications in Machine Learning” program is to educate students in the Python programming language and Machine Learning. Learners will be introduced to Python Libraries for Machine Learning (Scikit-learn, Tensorflow, keras). They will learn to do Data Munging, Data Visualization and Predictive Analytics using Machine Learning algorithms. Important topics in Machine Learning will be presented and the trainees will know and implement Unsupervised Learning Algorithms such as: K-Means and Principal Component Analysis as well as Supervised Learning Algorithms Algorithms such as: Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees and Random Forests, K-Nearest Neighbor. Finally, they will learn to work with Neural Networks and Deep Learning methods (Convolution Neural Networks).
The program is aimed at anyone interested in certifying as a Learning Engineer using the Python language. The program is also aimed at professionals who want to improve their respective knowledge, degree holders or seniors who want to pursue a career as data scientists, teachers who want to attend a state-of-the-art program. Requires basic Python knowledge.
