Introduction to Machine Learning
Initially, we will get acquainted with the fundamental pillars of machine learning, explaining the difference between Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Deep Learning.
Then we move to the most important basic terms that will accompany you throughout your journey, such as:
Features representing the input data.
Labels.
The concept of Train-Test Split, meaning splitting data into a training set and a test set.
Supervised Learning
After establishing the concepts, we will move to supervised learning where labeled data is used to train models.
We start with the Regression algorithm, specifically Linear Regression, and review how it can be used to predict numerical values like house prices or future sales.
Then we move to Classification, which is used to distinguish between categories like predicting spam email (Spam-Not Spam).
During this, we will learn about the most famous algorithms like:
Decision Tree
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
Naive Bayes
And we will discuss the mechanism of each algorithm, its advantages, limitations, in addition to the best cases where they can be used.
Unsupervised Learning
In this part, we move to unsupervised learning, where the data is not labeled. Here we focus on Clustering algorithms, which are among the most important tools in data analysis.
We will learn about K-Means and how to use it to cluster customers based on their purchasing behavior.
We will also cover DBSCAN, which excels at discovering clusters with complex shapes.
In addition to Hierarchical Clustering which allows viewing data hierarchically.
We will also discuss practical applications like customer segmentation, analyzing hidden patterns, and anomaly detection.
Model Evaluation and Improvement
After building models, it is necessary to evaluate their performance. Therefore, we will learn about the most important performance metrics (Evaluation Metrics) like:
Accuracy.
Precision.
Recall.
F1 Score.
In addition to the main challenges like Overfitting and Underfitting, and we explain Regularization techniques that help improve model performance and maintain their balance.
Practical Projects and Real Applications
In this part, the course transitions from the theoretical side to practical application. The practical application will include:
Creating and executing real projects.
Building a Classification Model using the Scikit-learn library.
Applying Clustering algorithms on big data and analyzing the results.
