About this Course

Machine Learning is a go-along domain with Artificial Intelligence in Computer Science and Technology, which deals with training the machines with previously trained models. The system self-learns the process improves without munch of human intervention required. With the world driven by advancements in Artificial Intelligence and its technologies today, Machine Learning is gradually making its stand in various fields. Machine Learning is also one of the most sought job choices, and thus many aspirants learn it. This course introduces you to the world to Machine Learning. You will undersand niche concepts such as Supervised and Unsupervised learning, Regression and Classification. This course will educate you about different platforms where you can participate in competitions conducted world wide such as hackathon, kaggle. You also get to know the concepts behind recommendation systems and how ML on cloud is emerging.

The faculty for the course is Dr. Abhinanda Sarkar, Ph.D. from Stanford University and Ex-Faculty MIT, is Academic Director at Great Learning for Data Science and Machine Learning Programs.

Course Outline

Introduction to Machine Learning and Linear Regression

Data is the soul of Machine Learning, and there are specific methods to deal with it efficiently. This module first introduces Machine Learning and talks about the mathematical procedures involved. You will learn about supervised and unsupervised learning, Data Science Machine Learning steps, linear regression, Pearson's coefficient, best fit line, and coefficient of determinant. Lastly, you will be going through a case study to help you effectively comprehend Machine Learning concepts. 

 

Steps of Machine Learning

Machine learning algorithms involve seven steps: Collect data, Prepare the data, Choose the model, Train the machine model, Evaluation, Parameter tuning, Prediction or Inference. 

Hackathon and Kaggle

Kaggle supports a no-setup, customizable Jupyter Notebooks environment. It helps access free GPUs and a vast community published code and data repository. Hackathons are designed sprint-like events that focus on creating a functioning software or hardware where programmers, graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, domain experts, and others collaborate intensively to contribute to software projects.

Supervised learning
Regression and Classification

Regression helps predict a continuous quantity. On the other hand, classification predicts discrete class labels, and they can sometimes overlap while working with machine learning algorithms.

Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised learning is a known machine learning method in which algorithms are not given pre-assigned labels to train the data. It self-discovers naturally occurring patterns in training the data sets. 

Netflix Price

A recommendation engine is a machine learning technology used in Netflix to suggest shows and movies to its customers. A recommendation system processes on the back end to provide services based on the previously collected data from the customers. 

Recommender System

Recommender systems are designed to recommend products and services to the users. It predicts the user interests based on the previously calculated metrics, which benefits both the user and the system.

ML on Cloud

Machine learning is applied to work with the cloud since it eliminates the time spent managing infrastructure using TensorFlow and other Python machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn. Google cloud uses machine learning methods to work with managing the cloud space.
