Applied Machine Learning (Level 8)
This subject aims to provide a solid foundation in applied machine learning methods. Classification, predictive analysis, regression, clustering, evaluation, and optimization are addressed, as well as descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and regression analysis.
This module will teach students how to create more precise ML models of real-world scenarios, as well as how to address statistical problems through data analytics in a practical manner, using statistical software, such as Python, as well as distributed cloud solutions, such as Hadoop (Pig, Spark) with Map Reduce. Learners will get a thorough grasp of the many models that may be applied to diverse target domains, such as commercial, social, retail, and financial. Students will be taught the subject presuming they have taken Statistics for Data Analytics.
Module Objectives:
The objectives of this module are to enable the learner to:
- To give the student the chance to utilize the methodologies and skillsets connected with Machine Learning as a source of business knowledge and insight.
- To enable the student to improve their critical thinking skills while selecting tools, methodologies, and approaches for a specific data collection, business scenario, or use case.
- To enable the student to exhibit sound judgment and the abilities necessary to execute data mining solutions for a specific business scenario or use case.
Indicative Syllabus
Segment 1
Introduction to Machine Learning, History, Early Applications, Machine Learning Techniques, Linear Algebra Review, Regression – One Variable. Learning, Representation, and Neural Network Investigate non-linear hypotheses, how neurons and the brain function, and how they might be used for multi-class categorization. Using the back-propagation technique to aid in the learning of neural network parameters.
Segment 2
System Design Using Machine Learning Choosing the best machine learning assignment for a possible application. Vector Machines should be used. SVM may be used to improve classification systems. Investigate big margin intuition, large margin classification, and the use of an SVM. The Decision Tree and its components, Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Navive Bayes, and many other algorithms.
Segment 3
Precision, recall, f1 score, Root mean score, r score, and their applications are examples of evaluation metrics. Components linked to natural language processing, such as Bag of words, and Components connected to image processing, such as RGB scale, grayscale, and so on. Machine Learning Applications on a Large Scale.
Segment 4
Dimensionality Reduction, Unsupervised Learning — expressing data as features and lowering the dimensions of the data to serve as input to various machine learning models. For each job, evaluate model quality in terms of important error measures. Recommender Systems, Anomaly Detection Using a Gaussian distribution, figure out which sets of data diverge considerably from the average set to discover anomalies. Examine the patterns amongst diverse system users and create recommender algorithms such as collaborative filtering and low-rank matrix factorisation.
