'Data Scientist' is one of the hottest professions of the 21st century. The Machine Learning using Python is a comprehensive course with a strong focus on skills such as statistics, data mining, data wrangling, data visualization, regression models and clustering, decision trees, linear and logistic regression, OSMEN Methodology. This course aims to build an understanding of concepts like supervised and unsupervised learning models, and more. The program concludes with a study of industry cases. These projects are selected to reinforce the subject by building a real-life predictive model, encompassing all the key aspects learned throughout the program. The skills focused on in this program will help the students be prepared for career opportunities in the field of Machine Learning & Data Science.
