This workshop will provide an introduction to some of the key methods and concepts in machine learning. We will present and discuss the following topics: - Introduction to machine learning. - Regression. - Bias-variance tradeoff. - Resampling Methods. - Classification algorithms, in general. - Decision trees, kNN, k-means. - Agglomerative clustering.
We will use Python 3, and attendees are expected to be familiar with the Python programming language but extensive programming experience is not required - we will mainly be calling functions in existing packages, not writing large amounts of code.
