Machine Learning

This Python course is for people who are already familiar with Python and want to learn more about Data Science and Machine Learning. Please note the course is available in Dutch only for the time being.

The course

In this two day course you will get an extensive overview of the machine learning landscape. It will give you a head start so you can start to apply machine learning yourself. You'll learn about supervised and unsupervised machine learning, about regression and classification algorithms and a whole lot more. The course is hands-on, so be prepared to work on some exercises. You'll be using the open source and battle-tested scikit-learn framework and Jupyter Notebooks.

Who should take this course?

Professionals who working with data and are interested in learning more about data science and machine learning. The course offers both a theoretical framework as practical hands-on coding exercises.
