Overview

In this course, you'll learn about different types of supervised learning and how to use them to solve real-world problems.

Syllabus

  • Introduction to Supervised Learning
    • Before diving into the many algorithms of machine learning, it is important to take a step back and understand the big picture associated with the entire field.
  • Linear Regression
    • Linear regression is one of the most fundamental algorithms in machine learning. In this lesson, learn how linear regression works!
  • Perceptron Algorithm
    • The perceptron algorithm is an algorithm for classifying data. It is the building block of neural networks.
  • Decision Trees
    • Decision trees are a structure for decision-making where each decision leads to a set of consequences or additional decisions.
  • Naive Bayes
    • Naive Bayesian Algorithms are powerful tools for creating classifiers for incoming labeled data. Specifically Naive Bayes is frequently used with text data and classification problems.
  • Support Vector Machines
    • Support vector machines are a common method used for classification problems. They have been proven effective using what is known as the 'kernel' trick!
  • Ensemble Methods
    • Bagging and boosting are two common ensemble methods for combining simple algorithms to make more advanced models that work better than the simple algorithms would on their own.
  • Model Evaluation Metrics
    • Learn the main metrics to evaluate models, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and more!
  • Training and Tuning
    • Learn the main types of errors that can occur during training, and several methods to deal with them and optimize your machine learning models.
  • Finding Donors Project
    • You've covered a wide variety of methods for performing supervised learning -- now it's time to put those into action!
