Video description

This course is truly a step by step. In every new video, we build on what has already been learned and move one extra step forward; then we assign you a small task that is solved in the beginning of the next video.

This comprehensive course will be your guide to learning how to use the power of Python to train your machine such that your machine starts learning just like a human; based on that learning, your machine starts making predictions as well!

We’ll be using Python as the programming language in this course, which is the hottest language nowadays when we talk about machine learning. Python will be taught from a very basic level up to an advanced level so that any machine learning concept can be implemented.

We’ll also learn various steps of data preprocessing, which allows us to make data ready for machine learning algorithms.

We’ll learn all the general concepts of machine learning, which will be followed by the implementation of one of the most important ML algorithms— “Support Vector Machine”. Each and every concept of SVM will be taught theoretically and implemented using Python.

What You Will Learn

  • Learn the basics of machine learning
  • Learn the basics of discriminative learning
  • Learn the basics of linear discriminants
  • Learn the basics of Support Vector Machine (SVM)
  • Learn the basics of the sparsity of SVM and comparison with logistic regression
  • Learn how to implement SVM on any dataset
  • Learn the math behind SVM

Audience

This course is designed for both beginners with some programming experience or even those who know nothing about ML and SVM.

This course is for someone who is curious to learn the math behind SVM since this course contains an optional part for mathematics as well.

It is also for someone who wants to learn logistic regression from zero to hero; for someone who is an absolute beginner and has very little idea of machine learning.
