Course Description
In the realm of supervised learning, master a suite of algorithms—from linear and logistic regression to ridge and lasso regression, Bayesian regression, and the strategic deployment of support vector machines (SVMs) for classification and regression tasks. You will learn about unsupervised learning, where you decode foundational principles and component analysis techniques, and practically apply clustering using K-means in Python. Additionally, we will cover the DBSCAN algorithm and explore affinity propagation within the machine learning context.
With reinforcement learning, we will explore OpenAI Gym's role in training agents for optimal decision-making in dynamic environments. This will show us the strategic nuances of Q-Learning, a popular algorithm for sequential decision-making, and integrate deep neural networks with Q-Learning through Deep Q-Networks. Exploring additional machine learning libraries like Keras, CatBoost, and convolutional neural networks will help solidify your proficiency in cutting-edge data science techniques within a business-driven context.
