This course provides an introduction to the field of machine learning, covering the fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications. Students will learn how to apply machine learning algorithms to real-world problems and build predictive models from data. The course covers a range of topics, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, and evaluation and model selection. Students will also learn about data preprocessing and exploration, ethical considerations in machine learning, and the limitations and challenges of machine learning algorithms. Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience by working on practical assignments and projects, using popular machine learning libraries and frameworks such as Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and Keras. By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation in machine learning and be able to: Understand the basic concepts and terminology of machine learning Apply machine learning algorithms to solve real-world problems Preprocess and explore data to prepare it for machine learning models Evaluate machine learning models and select the best one for a given problem Use deep learning algorithms to solve complex problems The course is designed for students with a background in computer science, mathematics, statistics, or a related field, who are interested in machine learning and its applications.
