WSQ—Applied Machine Learning (SF) (Synchronous and Asynchronous E-learning)

This course will provide learners to design and create machine learning systems that can integrate, make sense of, and act upon varied sensory information sources, using domain knowledge followed in respective industries. Learners will gain skills to build knowledge-based intelligent software applications using machine reasoning techniques and computer programming. This course will get the learners to be familiar with concepts of machine learning and data mining for predictive analytics. Learners learn what are the algorithms available, what they do, and how to choose the best one and apply it to their data. Learners will learn to make predictions with the output of the model and compare them across different models. Learners will be able to apply these concepts in business application and other fields by studying patterns in the data and using them to make predictions.
