Objectives

• Participants can perform exploratory data analysis on large datasets containing numerical and categorical data.
• Participants can perform exploratory data analysis on time-series data and unsupervised transformations.
• Participants will be proficient with using Decision Tree Classifiers, kNN classifier, Random forest tree classifier, and K-Means Clustering on various datasets.
• Participants can construct training, testing, cross validation, feature elimination, feature ranking, parameter selection, and anomaly detection tasks.
• Participants can implement advanced clustering, regression, and classification techniques, such as DBSCAN, Hierarchical Clustering, neural networks, ElasticNet, and Support Vector Machines.
• Participants can construct deep neural networks for time-series analysis.

Course Content

Equipment/Software Requirements

The instructor will use Windows OS during the course. Participants will execute python and tensorflow modules/codes to understand various Machine Learning concepts. All software used for the course is open source, so participants should bring computers where they can install the open-source software. Participants need at least 4GB of storage and 4GB RAM on their computer.
