What does the training include?
In this two- or three-day training, we'll take you hands-on with setting up a data science project, and what's involved. You will learn everything about machine learning algorithms, preparing a dataset, training and validating the model and bringing and keeping a model live. Python or prior programming knowledge is useful but not required.
Part 1: What is data science and how to set up a project
· What do we mean by data science?
· Why is data science so popular?
· What is involved in a data science project?
o Intake phase
o Construction phase

· What types of algorithms are there?
· Key concepts:
o Development kit & validation kit
o Overfit & underfit
· How do the best-known algorithms work?
· How do I build my first model?
Part 2: How do I ensure appropriate data?
· How do I clean my data?
· How do I structure my data?
· How do I visualize my data?
· How do I create my first features?
· How do I know if a feature is good?
· How do I select the best feature?
Part 3: How do I create a robust model?
· How do I validate my model?
· How do I define a baseline?
· How do I create a good validation set?
· What validation methods are available?
· What are the validation metrics?
· How do I visualize the results?

For whom?
This masterclass is intended for professionals who want a practical introduction to data science and AI. It is suitable for both beginners with no programming experience and people with some Python knowledge who want to learn how to set up and execute a data science project, including training and implementing machine learning models.
