Machine Learning (Simply Explained by a Data Scientist)

This is an introductory workshop that will thoroughly explain Machine Learning. We dive into Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and Reinforcement Learning.

I breakdown all of the algorithms and use cases associated with the different forms of Machine Learning.

This is the first Machine Learning workshop that ACTUALLY breaks down Machine Learning in a way that can be understood from people that are not Data Scientists and Engineers!

I have professionally taught Data Science and Machine Learning at Chegg, Thinkful, General Assembly, Springboard, Tech Talent South, & the World Data Science Institute.

What is Machine Learning:

Machine Learning gives Computer the ability to make decisions without being programmed.

• The primary goal of supervised learning is to accurately predict the future based on past structured and/or labeled data!

• The primary goal of unsupervised learning is to group unstructured data based on similarities!

• The primary goal of reinforment learning is to simulate human behavior using robots!

Machine Learning use cases:

• Customer and client satisfaction. Machine learning helps financial services firms track customer happiness

• Used in several platforms to identify a customer is about to leave based on user activity

• Reacting to market trends

• Market analysis

• Used in banking to approve or disapprove credit applications/bank accounts

• Identify fraud based on purchasing behaviors

• Social media to recommend who you should follow or who should follow you

• Used in retail to help us determine what product we should buy in future or with current product

• Also used for platforms like Netflix to identify suggested shows for us to watch

• Automatically adjusts prices companies that compete with Price Match Guarantee

• Siri, Alexa, and Google Map

• Uber uses for hot zones and price setting

• Image and Speech Recognition

• Predicting lifespan based on specific data points previously collected

• Stock picks, sports picks, and the list goes on…..

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
