Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module, students will have: Knowledge of the main ideas and techniques of Machine Learning; Knowledge and understanding of a range of industry settings in which firms deploy machine learning tools and related frameworks used in these contexts. You will be able to: Identify Machine Learning techniques relevant to specific business contexts and data; Research an unfamiliar industry or firm context in order to establish the nature of an analytical problem; Formulate a machine learning plan and comment critically on machine learning strategies adopted by others; Explain both findings and the strengths and weaknesses of the methods used to arrive at these findings.
Lessons will refer to the book “Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow”.
We identify business cases and adapt provided code to analyse these datasets.
