Description:

This workshop aims for a thorough introduction to Machine Learning utilizing the excellent python library Scikit-Learn. The workshop will have the following goals

• Understand what Machine Learning is.
• Different ML approaches:
  • Supervised - Classification and Regression
  • Unsupervised - Clustering and Dimensionality Reduction
• How Scikit-Learn helps to very easily apply ML concepts in python.
• How ML is applied in the real world ( Eg. Spam Detection, Activity Recognition, Anomaly Detection ).
• How to leverage this knowledge to build applications.

The workshop will utilize a 80-20 approach between practical and theory that will enable the attendees to better grasp the topic. The workshop will have exercises for the attendees to attempt as they learn.
