About this workshop series

This two day workshop will introduce students to data exploration and machine learning techniques. Students will learn about the data science workflow and will practice exploring and visualising data using Python and built-in libraries. Students will also explore the differences between supervised and unsupervised learning techniques and practice creating predictive regression models.

Day 1 - Developing the Fundamentals

Module 1: Introduction to Machine Learning (2.5 hours)

What is machine learning?

Installation and update of tools

Machine learning algorithms

Module 2: Exploring and using data sets (2.5 hours)

Learn the steps to pre-process a dataset and prepare it for machine learning algorithms

Day 2 - Diving into machine learning

Module 3: Supervised vs. unsupervised learning (2.5 hours)

Review of machine learning algorithms

Classification, linear regression and logistic regression

Random forests, clustering

Decision trees

Module 4: Model Evaluation (2.5 hours)

Feature Engineering and Model Selection

Model Evaluation Metrics - Accuracy, RMSE, ROC, AUC, Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall, F1 Score

Overfitting and Bias-Variance trade-off

Cross Validation

Takeaways

After this lesson, you will be able to:

Collect data from a variety of sources (e.g., Excel, web-scraping, APIs and others)

Explore large data sets

Clean and "munge" the data to prepare it for analysis

Apply machine learning algorithms to gain insight from the data

Visualize the results of your analysis

Build your own library and Python scripts

Prereqs & Preparation

Beginner/intermediate. This workshop is for analysts, product managers, mathematicians, business managers or anyone else that wants to learn about machine learning. A background in computer science, programming, and/or statistics is preferred for this workshop. It is not required but you are expected to be somewhat familiar with the command line tools and how to write simple programs. Recommended that you take the “Python for Beginners” workshop prior to attending this.
