Course focus
At this course, we explore different supervised algorithms for classification and numerical problems such as decision trees, logistic regression, and ensemble models. We will also look at recommendation engines and neural networks and investigate the latest advances in deep learning. In addition, we will examine unsupervised learning techniques, such as clustering with k-means, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN.
We will also discuss various evaluation metrics for trained models and a number of classic data preparation techniques, such as normalization or dimensionality reduction.
Who is the course for?
This course is designed for current and aspiring data scientists who would like to learn more about machine learning algorithms used commonly in data science projects.
How is the course structured?
This is an instructor-led course consisting of four, 75-minutes online sessions run by one of our KNIME data scientists. Each session has an exercise for you to complete at home and together, we will go through the solution at the start of the following session. The course concludes with a 15 to 30-minute wrap up session.
