Some of the Learning Outcomes
This course is intended to go through the complete roadmap that leads to the immense universe of Artificial Intelligence. It starts from ground zero, a quick overview of basic statistics and data analysis, pillars upon which both “supervised” and “unsupervised” Machine Learning evolved and became at their turn the inevitable backbone for all Artificial Intelligence algorithms behind successful AI applications. In parallel to dozens of step-by-step case studies, the workshop will explore simultaneously, and under different angles, all Machine Learning algorithms applied to the famous generic must-know case study “Iris Flowers”, as well as on “Pulse”, a real healthcare data set related to hospitalized patients. This exclusive approach will allow participants to compare all solutions and adapt the exact one that fits their needs in real life.
