Objectives

  • Understand the basics of machine learning and machine learning on structured data, apply standard dimension reduction and clustering methods, know how to implement a regression model by controlling overfitting and validating model predictions, understand the basics of text mining.
  • At the end of this training, the participant will be able to determine the type of techniques to apply based on the questions asked and perform elaborate pre-processing to implement predictive models.

Prerequisites:

  • none

Pedagogical and technical material and resources:

  • Sessions with the trainer, training material in digital format, balance between theoretical and practice, concrete cases.

Assessment:

  • Practical application and exercises

Results & skills expected at the end of the training:

  • At the end of this training, the participant will be able to determine the type of techniques to apply based on the questions asked and perform elaborate pre-processing to implement predictive models.
