Overview
About the course
As more and more organisations turn to predictive analytics to gain a competitive advantage, expertise in the field is highly sought after. Using Machine Learning, predictive analytics can turn data into meaningful and actionable insights.
The six modules in this Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning course at Singapore Management University provide step-by-step guidance to participants to train, and test supervised and unsupervised machine learning models in numerical, categorical, and text data.
Participants will get to discuss productivity tools and experience the deployment of machine learning models on various platforms like GitHub and its interactive dashboards. This practical six-module course will culminate in a capstone project, where they will work on their own predictive analytics project using machine learning.
