Course Information
Machine Learning for Humans develops the cognitive capacities in participants on how to think like a data scientist. Through the lens of data science, participants will gain a broad overview on the history of data, how to conduct a machine learning project from start to finish, and the practical application of various machine learning models.
The course breaks down complex data processes and machine learning techniques / models through the visual power of animation, motion graphics, and storytelling.
The course is presented and explained by experienced data scientists. They will share the concepts used when designing machine learning models for real-world problems.
Participants will complete scenario-based assessments to ensure that they understand and can apply the techniques taught in the modules.
