Principles of Machine Learning: Python Edition

Overview

Machine learning uses computers to run predictive models that learn from existing data in order to forecast future behaviors, outcomes, and trends.

In this data science course, you will be given clear explanations of machine learning theory combined with practical scenarios and hands-on experience building, validating, and deploying machine learning models. You will learn how to build and derive insights from these models using Python, and Azure Notebooks.

edX offers financial assistance for learners who want to earn Verified Certificates but who may not be able to pay the fee. To apply for financial assistance, enroll in the course, then follow this link to complete an application for assistance.

Note : These courses will retire in June. Please enroll only if you are able to finish your coursework in time.

This is THE core course before you do the "graduation" capstone, which is required to earn Microsoft's Professional Program Certificate.

I confess: I literally crawled thru it last summer 1019 after having barely passed the Intro to Python for Data Science course (which was done via DataCamp).

Heads-up: make sure you have had about a year of Python, aka, Intermediate level. Specifically you have to know Python data structure, medium Numpy and Pandas really well. Or else the instructor (Elston)'s lecture codes in Python would blow you over and damage your self-esteem.

The program manager is to be blamed in that towards the end, you're required to climb an unbelievably steep learning curve without warning.

Good luck.
