Machine Learning - Beginner Level

Difficulty: ⭐️⭐️☆☆☆

Description

Machine learning is an important field of Artificial Intelligence by giving the machine the power to improve its performance by consumes more and more data. In this course, the students will learn the concept of machine learning, especially, supervised learning, and apply various machine learning algorithms in practical problems.

Learning outcomes:
