Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Open to all candidates

No prerequisites

1. Master the concepts of supervised and unsupervised learning, recommendation engines, and time series modelling

2. Gain practical mastery over principles, algorithms, and applications of Machine Learning through a hands-on approach that includes working on four major end-to-end projects and 25+ hands-on exercises

3. Acquire thorough knowledge of the statistical and heuristic aspects of Machine Learning

4. Implement models such as support vector machines, kernel SVM, naive Bayes, decision tree classifier, random forest classifier, logistic regression, K-means clustering and more in Python

5. Validate Machine Learning models and decode various accuracy metrics. Improve the final models using another set of optimization algorithms, which include Boosting and Bagging techniques

6. Comprehend the theoretical concepts and how they relate to the practical aspects of Machine Learning
