Machine Learning Foundation is a hands-on introduction to the mathematics and algorithms used in Data Science, as well as creating the foundation and building the intuition necessary for solving complex machine learning problems. The course provides a good kick start in several core areas with the intent on continued, deeper learning as a follow on. Although this course is highly technical in nature, it is a foundation-level machine learning class for Intermediate skilled team members who are relatively new to AI and machine learning. This course as-is is not for advanced participants.

Learning Objectives
This “skills-centric” course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, with extensive practical exercises designed to reinforce fundamental skills, concepts and best practices taught throughout the course. Throughout the course students will learn about and explore popular machine learning algorithms, their applicability and limitations and practical application of these methods in a machine learning environment. This course reviews key foundational mathematics and introduces students to the algorithms of Data Science. Working in a hands-on learning environment, students will explore:
Popular machine learning algorithms, their applicability and limitations
Practical application of these methods in a machine learning environment
Practical use cases and limitations of algorithms
Core machine learning mathematics and statistics
Supervised Learning vs. Unsupervised Learning
