Machine Learning I
Machine learning algorithms are new generation algorithms used in conjunction with classical predictive modelling methods.
In this Machine Learning 1 module, learners will understand applications of the Support vector machine, K Nearest Neighbours and Naive Bayes algorithms for classification and regression problems. Additionally, students will develop practical machine learning and data science skills including theoretical basics of a broad range of machine learning concepts and methods with practical applications to sample datasets.
