Machine Learning/AI Series: Classification Algorithms

New session times will be displayed below upon confirmation.

Most Technology Training classes will be delivered online until further notice.

Before each sesson, Tech Training will provide a Zoom link for live online classes, along with any required class materials.

 

A session intended to get you started with Classification Algorithms to classify structured data and make predictions.

Prerequisite:
Have a basic understanding of the Python language, Pandas library, and be familiar with how to use Jupyter Notebook.

Audience:
This session is designed for anyone who is familiar with the basic steps involved in machine learning, and the tools involved in building machine learning models.

Objectives:
Learn about what classification means in machine learning and some of the algorithms involved with classification. We will then perform hands-on labs to do the following:

  • Use one of these classification algorithms to build a classification model
  • Look at different metrics involved in evaluating the performance of the model

Setup
Attendees must install Anaconda software (https://www.anaconda.com/) prior to the class, and have a basic understanding of using Jupyter Notebook.
