About this course
Specific Skills Acquired: The course focuses on gaining practical skills in working with machine learning tools and libraries in the Python ecosystem. Participants will gain practical experience in building ML models, starting from the analysis of raw data and ending with the evaluation of the model and the hyperparameter tuning, using both traditional algorithms and neural networks. Among the tools mastered by the participants are the libraries of pandas, matplotlib, sckit-learn, keras, etc.
General Objectives: This course is an introductory course in machine learning. The main goal of the course is to provide participants with a general understanding of the problems solved by machine learning methods and basic algorithms for solving them. The course has a practical orientation, so all stages of working with this data are accompanied by practical examples.
