Intro to Machine Learning using Python: SVM & Unsupervised Learning at NCI

NCIhttps://opus.nci.org.au/display/Help/NCI+Training+and+Educational+EventsThe National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) is Australia's leading high-performance data, storage and computing organisation, providing expert services to benefit all domains of science, government and industry. NCI aims to deliver to the Australian research sector the computational capability and enhanced services it needs to achieve transformational outcomes benefiting Australia's industry, environment, research sector, public policy formulation and Australian society more broadly.Intersecthttps://intersect.org.au/trainingIntersect is a pivotal part of Australian research landscape. We provide robust, innovative services and collaborative technology to support world-class research at our member organisations and in the wider research community.Intersect delivers data storage, compute and analysis platforms, custom engineering, expert consulting and training programs to thousands of researchers every year.Intersect works closely with the ARDC (Australian Research Data Commons) built from ANDS, Nectar, and RDS. Intersect is also a member of the Software Carpentry Foundation, the NCI (National Computational Infrastructure) and the AAF (Australian Access Federation).

NCI and Intersect Australia Partnership

Live coding workshop introducing the Support Vector Machine & Unsupervised models in ML using Python

<h3>Brought to you by NCI in partnership with Intersect and delivered by Intersect.</h3><p></p><p>Machine Learning (ML) is a new way to program computers to solve real world problems. It has gained popularity over the last few years by achieving tremendous success in tasks that we believed only humans could solve, from recognising images to self-driving cars. In this course, we will explore the fundamentals of Machine Learning from a practical perspective with the help of the Python programming language and its scientific computing libraries.</p><p></p><h3>You&#x27;ll learn:</h3><ul><li>Comprehensive introduction to Machine Learning models and techniques such as Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor and Dimensionality Reduction.</li><li>Know the differences between various core Machine Learning models.</li><li>Understand the Machine Learning modelling workflows.</li><li>Use Python and scikit-learn to process real datasets, train and apply Machine Learning models</li></ul><p></p><h3>Prerequisites:</h3><p>Either Learn to Program: Python, Data Manipulation in Python and Introduction to ML using Python: Introduction &amp; Linear Regression or Learn to Program: Python, Data Manipulation and Visualisation in Python and Introduction to ML using Python: Introduction &amp; Linear Regression needed to attend this course. If you already have experience with programming, please check the topics covered in the Learn to Program: Python, Data Manipulation in Python, Data Manipulation and Visualisation in Python and Introduction to ML using Python: Introduction &amp; Linear Regression courses to ensure that you are familiar with the knowledge needed for this course, such as good understanding of Python syntax, basic programming concepts and familiarity with Pandas, Numpy and Seaborn libraries, and basic understanding of Machine Learning and Model Training.</p><p>Maths knowledge is not required. There are only a few Math formula that you are going to see in this course, however references to Mathematics required for learning about Machine Learning will be provided. Having an understanding of the Mathematics behind each Machine Learning algorithms is going to make you appreciate the behaviour of the model and know its pros/cons when using them.</p><p></p><h3>Why do this course:</h3><ul><li>Useful for anyone who wants to learn about Machine Learning but are overwhelmed with the tremendous amount of resources.</li><li>It does not go in depth into mathematical concepts and formula, however formal intuitions and references are provided to guide the participants for further learning.</li><li>We do have applications on real datasets!</li><li>Machine Learning models are introduced in this course together with important feature engineering techniques that are guaranteed to be useful in your own projects.</li><li>Give you enough background to kickstart your own Machine Learning journey, or transition yourself into Deep Learning.</li></ul><p>For a better and more complete understanding of the most popular Machine Learning models and techniques please consider attending all three Introduction to Machine Learning using Python workshops:</p><ul><li>Introduction to Machine Learning using Python: Introduction &amp; Linear Regression</li><li>Introduction to Machine Learning using Python: Classification</li><li>Introduction to Machine Learning using Python: SVM &amp; Unsupervised Learning</li></ul>
