This session was rescheduled from Feb 6 due to technical issues.
What to Expect: This session introduces Scikit-Learn, a powerful Python library for machine learning. Scikit-Learn supports supervised and unsupervised learning and offers tools for:
Data preprocessing
Model fitting
Model selection
Evaluation
And much more
Through hands-on exercises with real datasets, you'll learn to develop models using modern algorithms, including:
Linear regression
Decision trees and random forests
K-means clustering
Dimensionality reduction
We'll also provide an overview of the general machine learning workflow and wrap up with guidance on further ML resources.
Preparation: If Python is not installed on your machine, follow these instructions.
A conda environment file with all necessary packages will be shared before the session, along with activation instructions.
Prerequisites: Experience with Python programming using Jupyter Notebook and familiarity with libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.
Get ready to explore the capabilities of Scikit-Learn and start building practical machine learning solutions!
