Course Overview
An overview of Machine Learning with hands-on implementation of classification models using Python's scikit-learn
This course will give you a fundamental understanding of Machine Learning overall with a focus on building classification models. Basic ML concepts of ML are explained, including Supervised and Unsupervised Learning; Regression and Classification; and Overfitting. There are 3 lab sections which focus on building classification models using Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees and Random Forests using real data sets. The implementation will be performed using the scikit-learn library for Python.
The Intro to ML Classification Models course is meant for developers or data scientists (or anybody else) who knows basic Python programming and wishes to learn about Machine Learning, with a focus on solving the problem of classification.

Was a good course that covers theory and practice. Would have liked to see more use-cases of the ensemble training.

Nice mini-course on scikit and decision tree/random forest classifiers -- very good for building confidence in using Python ML packages, I think.
