Course

• LO1: To introduce different machine learning paradigms
• LO2: To provide understanding of machine learning algorithms to be used on a given dataset for regression/classification problems.

• CO1: Ability to conduct data analysis and data visualization
• CO2: apply the complete ML pipeline in real-world dataset – Analyse datasets, decide pre-processing steps, visualize data, apply ML models, and infer the meaning based on different performance metrics.
