Trees, SVM and Unsupervised Learning

“Trees, SVM and Unsupervised Learning” is designed to provide working professionals with a solid foundation in support vector machines, neural networks, decision trees, and XG boost. Through in-depth instruction and practical hands-on experience, you will learn how to build powerful predictive models using these techniques and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each. The course will also cover how and when to apply them to different scenarios, including binary classification and K > 2 classes. Additionally, you will gain valuable experience in generating data representations through PCA and clustering. With a focus on practical, real-world applications, this course is a valuable asset for anyone looking to upskill or move into the field of data science. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform.

The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.
