Course Description

Machine learning is an advanced and popular area in science and mathematics. The process of building a good machine learning model is iterative and can be somewhat tedious. The effort required to build a model that is accurate and robust is non-trivial. Training and optimizing models, tuning parameters, and selecting the essential and valuable features can be tedious and complicated tasks to carry out. I'm going to go over hyperparameter tuning with auto animals, specifically as it pertains to model selection using Bayesian optimization. We will go over reducing the number of features in order to perform classification. In this MATLAB module, you will discover how MATLAB can be used for machine learning (ML) in MATLAB using AutoML.

After completing this module, you will be able to apply what you learned to any project or task involving machine learning. It can be helpful in the private sector, government, and even academia. Additionally, it can be applied to any personal or home projects that you are working on, such as a smart home or smart home system.
