If you're a software engineer looking to add machine learning to your skillset, this is the place to start. 

This course will teach you to write useful code and create impactful machine learning applications immediately. From the start, you'll be given all the tools that you need to create industry-level machine learning projects. Rather than reading through dense theory, you’ll learn practical skills and gain actionable insights. Topics covered include data analysis/visualization, feature engineering, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and deep learning. All of these topics are taught using industry-standard frameworks: NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, and Keras.

Basic knowledge of Python is a prerequisite to this course.

This course was created by AdaptiLab, a company specializing in evaluating, sourcing, and upskilling enterprise machine learning talent. It is built in collaboration with industry machine learning experts from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple.

Machine Learning with NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and More

<h2 style="font-size:1.1em">Chapter Goals:</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Learn how to create a scikit-learn style classifier in XGBoost</li>
</ul>

<h2>A. Following the scikit-learn API</h2>
<p>While XGBoost provides a more efficient model than scikit-learn, using the model can be a bit convoluted. For people who are used to scikit-learn, XGBoost provides wrapper APIs around its model for classification and regression. These wrapper APIs allow us to use XGBoost's efficient model in the same style as scikit-learn.</p>
<p>For classification, the XGBoost wrapper model is called <code><a href="https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python/python_api.html#xgboost.XGBClassifier" target="_blank">XGBClassifier</a></code>. Like regular scikit-learn models, it can be trained with a simple call to <code>fit</code> with NumPy arrays as input arguments.</p>
