Principles of Machine Learning with Python

Who is the course for?

This course is part of the Microsoft Professional Program Certificate in Data Science and the Microsoft Professional Program in Artificial Intelligence. It provides a foundational understanding of machine learning using python, useful for anyone new to learning python, or wishing to use python to build machine learning solutions.

The practical elements of this course involve building end-to-end workflows by combining the concepts and algorithms that will be introduced throughout the course. For the most part, you’ll be given the code you need to complete the exercises, but a basic knowledge of Python syntax will improve your understanding of what’s going on in the labs and demonstrations.
