Introduction to Python and Machine Learning. 0 Credit Hours

Catalog description

This introductory enrichment course is to learn Python programming and explore its applications in Machine Learning. Machine Learning is a field of study within artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on pattern recognition and predictive modeling, as such it has many potential applications in clinical medicine and medical research. In Machine Learning, data are given to an AI model which is used to learn patterns in the data capable of permitting predictions on non-training data. Participants will learn into Python basics, progressing to advanced topics like OOP and data manipulation. The course culminates with hands-on implementation of Machine Learning algorithms, including Random Forests and Neural Networks using NumPy. Each session features an in-class project to reinforce learning.
