Machine Learning and Data Science - ML2

  


ML2: Machine Learning and Data Science Part 2

Welcome to the First Edition of ML-2(also called DS-2). This is the second foundational course in data science. It follows DS 1 and builds on them. It develops your ability to use generative models and clustering. We introduce you to tree based models, ensemble models and boosting. The course will introduce you to bayesian models and culminates with decision theory and model interrogation, and how to deal with imbalanced data situations.After you finish this module, you will be ready to run complex data science analyses on all kinds of data on your own, dealing with data imbalance, and finally being able to make decisions with the models. This page introduces you to the team, the basic instructions, the schedule, and various elements of our class.
