1. Introduction to machine learning
In this module, we look at basic machine learning concepts and examples.
Module overview
- What is machine learning?
- Use machine learning to study relatively simple real-world data sets.
- Learn about basic concepts and techniques in classification.
- What is some of the main challenges in machine learning?
- Formulate real-world problems as machine learning problems by identifying the task, performance measure, and training experience.
- Get started with ML assignment 1
Note: It’s important that you have the necessary software installed and have created a Kaggle account before week 36.
Week 36
- Read the instruction for ML assignment 1. You are guided closely through the work, but it is crucial to start early to get good learning outcomes.
- Look at the slides from Introduction to machine learning, part 1.
- Work with the notebook
notebooks/DAT158-Part1-1-simple_examples.ipynb
. - Look at the slides from Introduction to machine learning, part 2.
- Look at the notebook
DAT158-Part1-3-classification.ipynb
.
Note: Read Chapter 2: End-to-End Machine Learning Project, carefully to be able to complete assignment 1.
