Contents and Overview

This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.


This course will help you discover the magical black box that is Machine Learning by teaching a practical approach to modeling using Python, scikit-learn and TensorFlow.

The first course, Step-by-Step Machine Learning with Python, covers easy-to-follow examples that get you up and running with machine learning. In this course, you’ll learn all the important concepts such as exploratory data analysis, data preprocessing, feature extraction, data visualization and clustering, classification, regression, and model performance evaluation. You’ll build your own models from scratch.


The second course, Machine Learning with Scikit-learn, covers effective learning algorithms to real-world problems using scikit-learn. You’ll build systems that classify documents, recognize images, detect ads, and more. You’ll learn to use scikit-learn’s API to extract features from categorical variables, text and images; evaluate model performance; and develop an intuition for how to improve your model’s performance.


The third course, Machine Learning with TensorFlow, covers hands-on examples with machine learning using Python. You’ll cover the unique features of the library such as data flow Graphs, training, and visualization of performance with TensorBoard—all within an example-rich context using problems from multiple sources.. The focus is on introducing new concepts through problems that are coded and solved over the course of each section.


By the end of this training program you’ll be able to tackle data-driven problems and implement your solutions as well as build efficient models with the powerful yet simple features of Python, scikit-learn and TensorFlow.
