Learn the Machine Learning concepts and the ML project workflow.

Preprocessing is probably the most important stage of an ML project. This chapter covers the preprocessing steps needed for almost any dataset.

A pipeline is a neat way to combine all the preprocessing steps as well as a model. Pipelines make it much easier to train and use a model.

Modeling is the most fun stage of an ML project. Let's learn to build, fine-tune and evaluate the model!

Let's start with the simplest Linear Regression model! You will learn the idea behind Linear Regression and how to make predictions in Python.

Most real-world prediction tasks involve more than one feature. You will learn how to handle Linear Regression with multiple features.

A straight line does not always describe the data well. Let's learn how to build a more complex model for prediction! That's what the Polynomial Regression is suited for.

Now that you know how to build many Linear Regression models, you need a way to choose the best one. This is achievable using metrics. This section explains the most used ones and the difficulties you can face using them.

What is an ensemble? How are ensembles different from standard machine-learning models? What are the types of ensembles? Let's consider the answers to these questions.

Let's consider some commonly used bagging ensemble models, the features of their use, and also apply some of them to solve real-life tasks.

The mechanism of work of boosting models differs from bagging models. Now we will explore these distinctions, gain insights into utilizing model boosting for problem-solving, and illustrate its functionality through practical demonstrations.

Let's consider some commonly used stacking ensemble models, the features of their use, and also apply some of them to solve real-life tasks.

First, we will discuss what a neural network is and how it works. And also consider the scope of its application.

Next, we will try to build our own neural network and see how efficiently it copes with learning. We will also consider a ready-made solution from the scikit-learn library.

Finally, we will give you some additional useful information on how to understand which model to use and what types of neural networks there are. To complete the course, you will be tested on your acquired knowledge.
