Course details
Machine Learning Fundamentals: This unit provides an introduction to the basics of machine learning, including supervised and unsupervised learning, regression, classification, clustering, and neural networks. It covers the key concepts, algorithms, and techniques used in machine learning, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation. •
Data Preprocessing and Feature Engineering: This unit focuses on the importance of data quality and preparation in machine learning. It covers data cleaning, feature extraction, dimensionality reduction, and feature selection, as well as techniques for handling missing data and outliers. •
Supervised Learning: This unit delves into supervised learning algorithms, including linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines. It also covers model evaluation metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. •
Unsupervised Learning: This unit explores unsupervised learning algorithms, including k-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, principal component analysis (PCA), and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE). It also covers techniques for visualizing high-dimensional data. •
Deep Learning: This unit introduces the basics of deep learning, including neural networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. It covers techniques for building and training deep learning models, including backpropagation and optimization algorithms. •
Natural Language Processing (NLP): This unit focuses on NLP techniques, including text preprocessing, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and language modeling. It also covers deep learning-based NLP models, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and transformers. •
Computer Vision: This unit explores computer vision techniques, including image processing, object detection, segmentation, and recognition. It covers deep learning-based computer vision models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and YOLO (You Only Look Once). •
Reinforcement Learning: This unit introduces the basics of reinforcement learning, including Markov decision processes (MDPs), Q-learning, and policy gradients. It covers techniques for building and training reinforcement learning models, including exploration-exploitation trade-offs and off-policy learning. •
Transfer Learning and Model Deployment: This unit focuses on transfer learning, including pre-trained models and fine-tuning. It also covers techniques for deploying machine learning models, including model serving, model monitoring, and model maintenance. •
Ethics and Fairness in Machine Learning: This unit explores the ethical and fairness implications of machine learning, including bias, fairness, and transparency. It covers techniques for mitigating bias and ensuring fairness in machine learning models, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation.
