Phil Winder: Machine Learning & Data Science

 

GOTO Academy is excited to bring back UK-based Phil Winder of Winder Research, for an intensive 3-day Data science and Analytics masterclass, that will leave you with practical tools for utilizing Machine Learning principles in your organisation.

This masterclass combines beginner, intermediate and advanced courses into one efficient program. At the end of this course you will be considered professionally capable of developing and delivering data science products. Immediately start applying what you've learnt!

The 3-day masterclass can be reduced to a consecutive 2-day course depending on your skill level and your learning goals. If you're unsure which package is right for you, please contact us.

Who will benefit

This masterclass is aimed towards developers, in which we will dive into the mathematics behind the code as well as developing real life algorithms in Python. One-to-one help will be provided for developers new to Python and all algorithms, frameworks and libraries used will be demonstrated by the instructor.

Prerequisites

This is a full beginner to advanced level course, which is suitable for most users with some development experience. Some experience of Python is helpful, but not necessary. No data science experience is expected.

Masterclass Structure

Each day will comprise of a series of sub-hour theoretical sessions separated by practical exercises. The expected learning outcomes for each day are as follows:

What you will achieve on Day 1

  • Discuss the differences between types of learning
  • Describe problems in a way which can be solved with Data Science
