Course Headline:

Dive into Supervised Machine Learning with Python

Course Description:

Embark on a journey through the captivating world of supervised machine learning and master its application using the versatile Python programming language. This practical course is designed to take you from the basics to advanced topics, turning your curiosity into actionable skills.

Supervised machine learning is a cornerstone of artificial intelligence where we craft predictive models that can learn from labeled data. By optimizing these models, we unlock the potential to mathematically represent our data, revealing insights and enabling us to make educated predictions. One of the key aspects of this field is understanding feature importance, which allows us to reduce dimensionality, focusing on the most relevant variables and discarding the rest.

One of the cutting-edge techniques for assessing feature importance is SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), a game theory-based method that explains the output of machine learning models. This course will introduce you to this powerful technique, among others, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of how to apply it to your datasets.

Additionally, this course will guide you through the optimization process with hyperparameter tuning, where techniques such as cross-validation are essential in creating robust and precise models.

Here's what you will learn:

• The Fundamentals: Comprehend the essence of supervised machine learning, including its applications and importance.

• Model Evaluation: Learn to distinguish between overfitting and underfitting, and how to avoid these common pitfalls.

• Model Types: Discover the differences between regression and classification models, and understand the nuances of each:

  • Linear Models: Explore linear regression, lasso, ridge, elastic net, and logistic regression.
  • Tree-based Models: Master decision trees, Naive Bayes, and k-nearest neighbors.
  • SVMs: Understand both linear SVM and its non-linear variants.
  • Neural Networks: Learn the basics of feedforward neural networks and how they can be used in machine learning.
  • Ensemble Models: Gain expertise in techniques like bagging, random forest, boosting, and gradient boosting, as well as voting and stacking.
  • Bias-Variance Tradeoff: Deep dive into the intricacies of this tradeoff, which is crucial for creating effective models.

• Performance Metrics: Evaluate your models using various metrics for both regression and classification, including:

  • Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)
  • Mean Absolute Error (MAE)
  • Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE)
  • Confusion matrix, accuracy, precision, recall, ROC Curve, and area under the curve.
  • Multi-class metrics for more complex classification problems.

• Feature Importance: Learn to calculate feature importance using models, the SHAP technique, and Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) for dimensionality reduction.

• Hyperparameter Tuning: Master the art of optimizing models through k-fold cross-validation, grid search, and random search.

Each lesson in this course starts with a concise introduction and concludes with a real-world practical example in Python, utilizing the scikit-learn library within the interactive Jupyter environment. The notebooks used throughout the course are also downloadable, allowing you to experiment and apply what you've learned directly to your own projects.
