Data Science and Machine Learning

Tim Head has worked at CERN and will be telling us about how to do machine learning and data science in Python using scikit-learn. See http://scikit-learn.org/stable/

Wondering what all the talk about artificial intelligence and machine-learning is about? Tim will show you how to get started teaching machines. The scikit-learn library is renowned for its high quality algorithms, documentation, and user friendliness. We will cover how to get started, what some of the jargon you will encounter really means and what to learn about next.

• trees and forests, robust estimators for the 99%

• pushing all the buttons, how to select and validate hyper-parameters

• should I stay or should I go, putting it all together to predict mobile phone customer churn
