Why Take This Course?

This course is for anyone who wants to take the first step into the world of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science by learning the fundamentals of Machine Learning.

In this course which Python programming language will be used, after the basic theoretical overview of Machine Learning, approaches to Regression and Classification problems which are the problem types of Supervised Learning, increasing the performance of these approach techniques will be covered and real-life projects will be developed. Afterwards, with Decision Trees, the deeper concepts will be covered. In addition to Decision Trees, the Ensemble Learning method, where we can combine different models that are frequently used in real life and create new models, will be discussed. On the last day of our course, the clustering method in Unsupervised Learning will be discussed and many concepts of Machine Learning will be learned to the full within 5 days.

Finally, we support your development process by giving you quiz assignments. When the project is finished, you will have 2 end-to-end projects related to Regression and Classification. Thus, you will not only leave what you have learned in theory, but you will also be able to improve yourself practically. In this way, you will be able to add your projects to platforms such as GitHub and Kaggle and expand your portfolio.
