Machine Learning & Data Analytics
How to use artificial intelligence and machine learning for data analysis.
Do you want to understand your data better? The Machine Learning & Data Analytics course helps you do that! The effective use of data science methods today requires an understanding of the basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Central to this is an understanding of the underlying algorithms, possibilities, limitations, and applications. Accordingly, the course conveys paradigms, concepts, principles, models, methods, and techniques for understanding and using artificial intelligence and machine learning for data analytics purposes. Various application examples will also be used to show how artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used in the real world.
