Day 04: ML speedrun¶
Welcome to day 🍀 of Module 2 where we will finally learn about the granddaddy of them all: machine learning (ML). We’ll discuss the general, foundational principles as well as special considerations for MI. And we’ll do it all in one day. It’ll be fun. 😎
Attention
Today’s synchronous activities will almost surely take the whole day. Get pumped!! 💪
Goals for today¶
Introduce fundamental concepts and terms associated with supervised ML.
Practice implementing these concepts using scikit-learn in Python.
Discuss some advanced ML models and the intuition behind them so we can identify their utility.
Discuss practical considerations when doing ML (for MSE, and more broadly).
Timing for today¶
We will kick off the day on Zoom at 9:00AM.
We will have a mix of synchronous lectures and group exercises, interspersed with several short breaks.
We will take a longer break for lunch between 12:00PM and 1:00PM.
We will also take a break from 3:00PM to 3:30PM.
Since we’ll be meeting online for the whole day, we’ll debrief as part of the last session.
