Master the bag of words model, a simple yet powerful natural language processing approach that converts documents into a word-frequency document-term matrix for classification, sentiment analysis, and information retrieval.
Explore named entity recognition in language processing to identify and classify people, organizations, locations, and dates using rule-based and machine learning models, with context in unstructured data to improve accuracy.
Machine Learning is one of the most in-demand skills in today’s tech-driven world. This course, Hands-On Machine Learning with Python, is designed to take you from the fundamentals of machine learning to building, evaluating, and deploying real-world models using Python.
You will begin by understanding what machine learning is, its types, and the complete ML workflow, along with setting up a Python environment and essential libraries. The course then focuses on data preprocessing, where you will learn how to clean data, handle missing values, encode categorical features, and scale data — all critical steps for building effective models.
Next, you will dive into supervised learning algorithms such as linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, and support vector machines, followed by unsupervised learning techniques including clustering, dimensionality reduction, and association rule learning. Each concept is reinforced through hands-on Python implementations and quizzes to strengthen understanding.
As the course progresses, you will explore model evaluation and selection, learning how to use cross-validation, performance metrics, and hyperparameter tuning to choose the best model for a given problem. You will then move into deep learning with TensorFlow, covering neural networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and practical model building.
The course also includes a dedicated section on Natural Language Processing (NLP), where you will work with text preprocessing, word representations, and named entity recognition. Finally, you will learn how to deploy machine learning models, build web applications using Flask, and understand scalability, monitoring, and production readiness.
By the end of this course, you will have the confidence and practical skills to build, evaluate, and deploy machine learning solutions using Python for real-world applications.
