Machine Learning with Python

Description

Machine Learning with Python is an introductory course in Machine Learning (ML), which is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that uses computer algorithms, data and models to automatically learn and make decisions or predictions. The course offers mix of ML theory and hands-on practice in a computer laboratory environment,  incorporating open source Python based ML platform(s). General programming and Python skills are developed in the context of ML, with a view to these being transferrable to other applications.
