During this module, you will: 

• Build hands-on machine learning skills in supervised learning using Python, with exposure to industry-relevant toolboxes for real-world classification problems 

• Understand and manage key challenges in machine learning such as overfitting, bias, and model complexity improve model performance and reliability. 

• Apply and evaluate key machine learning techniques, including logistic regression, neural networks, and SVMs, to make data-driven decisions. 

• Boost your career in AI or data science or use this module as a stepping stone toward a master’s degree in artificial intelligence or machine learning.
