Instructor Description

This course will cover fundamental concepts in Machine Learning (ML). The course will provide conceptual and practical knowledge on a wide range of modern machine learning algorithms; including supervised learning (multiple linear regression, logistic regression, neural networks, and decision trees), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, recommender systems), reinforcement learning & deep learning models (CNN, RNN, Autoencoders & Transformers) and also introduce the importance of Prompt Engineering and Retrieval Augmented Generation. The goal is for students to be comfortable and confident in machine learning concepts and have the ablity to build machine learning model solution to challenging real-world problems. If you’re looking to break into AI or build a career in machine learning, this is a great place to start.
