Data Science 2: Machine Learning

In this course, we continue our journey in the world of data science, moving from the data wrangling and Python explanations covered in the previous course to an overview of the most popular machine learning models in the industry. We start with linear regression and progress to the latest advancements with gradient boosting, as well as clustering and feature selection/ranking algorithms. Each topic provides a theoretical understanding paired with a hands-on exercise to be solved in Python using real-world data.
