Machine Learning Using Python (Irvine, CA)

Machine Learning Using Python

Machine Learning using Python is your path to the most exciting careers in data analysis today. As data sources proliferate along with the computing power to process them going straight to the data is one of the most straightforward ways to quickly gain insights and make predictions. Machine Learning using Python brings together computer science and statistics to harness that predictive power. It s a mandatory skill for all aspiring data analysts and data scientists or anyone else who wants to wrestle all that raw data into refined trends and predictions. This is a class that will teach you the end-to-end process of investigating data through a machine learning lens. It will teach you how to extract and identify useful features that best represent your data a few of the most important machine learning algorithms and how to evaluate the performance of your machine learning algorithms. This workshop is for analysts product managers mathematicians business managers or anyone else that wants to learn how to code in Python. Takeaways In this workshop you ll learn the end-to-end data science process Collect data from a variety of sources (e.g. Excel web-scraping APIs and others) Explore large data sets Clean and munge the data to prepare it for analysis Apply machine learning algorithms to gain insight from the data Visualize the results of your analysis This is a very practical and hands-on workshop that has lots of class exercises. You ll build your own library of Python scripts that can be reused after your done with the course. Prereqs & Preparation You must bring a laptop with a text editor. Sublime Text is recommended and has a free trial version ( www.sublimetext.com ). In addition students should install Anaconda which is a free package that includes python and a number of tools that will be used in class ( continuum.io downloads).
