πŸ—“οΈ Week 5: Non-linear algorithms and ensemble methods

Theme: Supervised Learning

Author

Welcome to the fifth week of this course!

This week, we wrap up our exploration of supervised learning techniques with some non-linear (classification) algorithms such as decision trees, random forests and support vector machines.

You’ll be given some πŸ“šhomework about supervised learning techniques (in particular model evaluation and comparison as well as resampling) to do during Reading Week.

Your first summative (due in week 8) will also be announced and released this week! Stay tuned.
