Machine learning is the field that teaches machines and computers to learn from existing data to make predictions on new data: Will a tumor be benign or malignant? Which of your customers will take their business elsewhere? Is a particular email spam? In this course, you'll learn how to use Python to perform supervised learning, an essential component of machine learning. You'll learn how to build predictive models, tune their parameters, and determine how well they will perform with unseen data—all while using real world datasets. You'll be using scikit-learn, one of the most popular and user-friendly machine learning libraries for Python.

Learn how to build and tune predictive models and evaluate how well they'll perform on unseen data.

Supervised Learning with scikit-learn

Say you have a collection of customers with a variety of characteristics such as age, location, and financial history, and you wish to discover patterns and sort them into clusters. Or perhaps you have a set of texts, such as Wikipedia pages, and you wish to segment them into categories based on their content. This is the world of unsupervised learning, called as such because you are not guiding, or supervising, the pattern discovery by some prediction task, but instead uncovering hidden structure from unlabeled data. Unsupervised learning encompasses a variety of techniques in machine learning, from clustering to dimension reduction to matrix factorization. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of unsupervised learning and implement the essential algorithms using scikit-learn and SciPy. You will learn how to cluster, transform, visualize, and extract insights from unlabeled datasets, and end the course by building a recommender system to recommend popular musical artists.

Version control is one of the power tools of programming. It allows you to keep track of what you did when, undo any changes you decide you don't want, and collaborate at scale with other people. This course will introduce you to Git, a modern version control tool that is very popular with data scientists and software developers, and show you how to use it to get more done in less time and with less pain.

This course is an introduction to version control with Git for data scientists. 

Discover Git, a popular and modern version control tool for data scientists, and how you can use it work more efficiently, quickly, and with fewer errors.

Deploying machine learning models in production seems easy with modern tools, but often ends in disappointment as the model performs worse in production than in development. This course will give you four superpowers that will make you stand out from the data science crowd and build pipelines that stand the test of time: how to exhaustively tune every aspect of your model in development; how to make the best possible use of available domain expertise; how to monitor your model in performance and deal with any performance deterioration; and finally how to deal with poorly or scarcely labelled data. Digging deep into the cutting edge of sklearn, and dealing with real-life datasets from hot areas like personalized healthcare and cybersecurity, this course reveals a view of machine learning from the frontline.

Learn to build pipelines that stand the test of time.

Learn about supervised and unsupervised workflows, as well as model lifecycle management to build pipelines in Python that will stand the test of time.

Designing Machine Learning Workflows in Python

Neural networks have been at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence research during the last few years, and have provided solutions to many difficult problems like image classification, language translation or Alpha Go. PyTorch is one of the leading deep learning frameworks, being at the same time both powerful and easy to use. In this course you will use PyTorch to first learn about the basic concepts of neural networks, before building your first neural network to predict digits from MNIST dataset. You will then learn about convolutional neural networks, and use them to build much more powerful models which give more accurate results. You will evaluate the results and use different techniques to improve them. Following the course, you will be able to delve deeper into neural networks and start your career in this fascinating field.

Introduction to Deep Learning with PyTorch

We live in a busy world with tight deadlines.  As a result, we fall back on what is familiar and easy, favoring GUI interfaces like Anaconda and RStudio. However, taking the time to learn data analysis on the command line is a great long-term investment because it makes us stronger and more productive data people.

In this course, we will take a practical approach to learn simple, powerful, and data-specific command-line skills.  Using publicly available Spotify datasets, we will learn how to download, process, clean, and transform data, all via the command line.  We will also learn advanced techniques such as command-line based SQL database operations.  Finally, we will combine the powers of command line and Python to build a data pipeline for automating a predictive model.

Have you ever wondered how Gmail autocompletes your sentences, or, what powers the WhatsApp suggestions when you’re typing a message? The technology behind these helpful writing hints is machine learning. In this course, you'll build and train machine learning models for different natural language generation tasks. For example, you'll train a model on the literary works of Shakespeare and generate text in the style of his writing. You'll also learn how to create a neural translation model to translate English sentences into French. Finally, you'll train a seq2seq model to generate your own natural language autocomplete sentences, just like Gmail!

Imitate Shakespear, translate language and autocomplete sentences using Deep Learning in Python.
