I'm excited to share that today I've just completed the 'Supervised Learning with scikit-learn' course on DataCamp!
This course has been an incredible journey through the fundamentals of machine learning, focusing on practical applications using Python's scikit-learn library.
Here are some key takeaways:
Classification: Mastered techniques for binary classification, including k-Nearest Neighbors, and learned the crucial skill of splitting data into training and test sets.
Regression: Dove deep into linear regression, exploring performance metrics like R-squared and RMSE. I have gained hands-on experience with k-fold cross-validation and regularization techniques.
Model Evaluation: Learned to assess model performance using various metrics and visualization techniques, including ROC curves and AUC scores.
Hyperparameter Tuning: Explored advanced techniques like GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV to optimize model performance.
Preprocessing and Pipelines: Tackled real-world data challenges like handling missing values, categorical data conversion, and feature scaling and built efficient pipelines to streamline the ML workflow.
This course is a goldmine for anyone aspiring to be a data scientist or ML engineer. It offers a perfect blend of theory and practical skills that are immediately applicable in real-world scenarios.
Looking forward to applying these skills in my next project!
