About this Course
In this course, we'll cover advanced methods in machine learning. While linear models remain popular in industry, modern machine learning methods take advantage of increasingly complex algorithms to provide improved performance. You’ll discover advanced applications that require specialized algorithms to model them, and learn where basic techniques would result in suboptimal solutions. We’ll also explore more techniques used to improve model performance.
