Topics to Build Machine Learning Capabilities
Explore core machine learning concepts including classification, regression, clustering, decision trees, and boosting algorithms. Understand how these methods enable data-driven predictions and decisions. This lesson helps you identify key topics to study for enhancing your machine learning capabilities, preparing you for data science roles and job searches.
Machine learning uses algorithms and statistical models to enable computers to learn from and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed.
It is an essential aspect of data science because it allows data scientists to automatically identify patterns, trends, and insights in large and complex datasets, which can be used to make data-driven decisions or predictions. Here’s a list of algorithms that you should learn:
Classification & regression algorithms
Classification algorithms are used to predict a categorical response. For example, classifying an email as spam or not or ...
