Machine Learning with Python and ML.NET

In this training you will learn how to create AI applications with Python and Microsoft’s ML.NET machine learning library. The training will introduce you to NimbusML, a package that connects the Python runtime to the ML.NET library. You'll also learn the basics of regression, classification, and clustering and master machine learning algorithms like logistic regression, decision trees, and boosting ensembles.

Python Projects

This training will get you fully up to speed with Microsoft’s new MLNET machine learning library.

You will learn all about regression, binary and multiclass classification and clustering. You’ll also master popular learning algorithms like gradient descent, the decision tree, bagging and boosting ensembles and k-means clustering.

As you progress through the training material, you’ll design, train, and evaluate many complex machine learning models on your own computer in Python with the Microsoft MLNET machine learning library.

I will provide you with all the datasets, source code and libraries you need to get started and build your own machine learning apps.

The training covers the following topics:

Supervised Machine Learning

Loading Numeric Data

Normalization

Processing Outliers

Processing Missing Values

Loading Text Data

One-Hot Encoding

Sparse Vector Encoding

Loading Geo Data

Binning

Vector Cross-Products

Lesson Preview

Check out this training lesson preview in which I will show you how we can build a multiclass classification model by stacking several binary classification models on top of each other.

The video covers Multiclass Classification, Sigmoid and Softmax Activation.

Featured Labs

Here are four lab assignments from the training. In each lab, you will be building a Python application that trains a machine learning model on your laptop using a well-known AI dataset.

Predict Taxi Prices In New York

Build a regression model to predict the price of a taxi trip in New York

Recognize Handwriting

Build a machine learning model that can recognize handwritten digits from the famous MNIST dataset

Predict Bike Demand

Build a regression model that predicts how many shared bikes are needed in Washington DC every day

Analyze The Titanic Disaster

Build a binary classification model to predict which passengers on the Titanic will survive the disaster
