Python for Machine Learning
Python for Machine Learning is a foundational course for learning the core details of Numpy, Pandas, Plotly, and Scikit Learn. In the process you will explore the essentials of machine learning by building your own supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms for business analytics and reporting. At the end of the course you will have built a portfolio of data science and machine learning applications that you can reference or share with your team and colleagues using Streamlit in combination with HuggingFace.

Try these prep courses first
- Learn
- File Input/Output
- Computation on arrays
- Aggregation
- Slicing, indexing, and modifying arrays
Project- Use Numpy to perform fast calculations and make comparisons with plain Python. This means you will calculate the distance between your location and that of Airbnb listings, and make use of Streamlit to visualize these measurements.
- Learn
- Pandas data structures
- Operating on data in Pandas
- Handling missing data
- Combining datasets
Project- Cleaning and generally preprocessing data is a typical task where you need Pandas. This you will learn this week. At the end the results are wrapped up and packages as another Streamlit project.
- Learn
- Plotly data visualizations
- How to train machine learning models
- Splitting data into training, validation, and testing sets
- Feature selection
- Decision Trees
Project- Use numpy and pandas to pre-process training and testing data. Use scikit-learn linear regression supervised learning to predict the price of Airbnb by training on various features.
- Learn
- Exploration of supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms in scikit-learn
- Scikit-learn machine learning pipelines
Project- Implement a K-Means clustering unsupervised learning algorithm to identify groupings across Airbnb listings and also use Support Vector Machines (SVM) for Airbnb classification.
