You’ll learn how to start with a question and/or a dataset, and use machine learning to turn them into insights.

Lessons 1-4: Supervised Classification

**Naive Bayes:** We jump in headfirst, learning perhaps the world’s greatest algorithm for classifying text. **Support Vector Machines (SVMs):** One of the top 10 algorithms in machine learning, and a must-try for many classification tasks. What makes it special? The ability to generate new features independently and on the fly. **Decision Trees:** Extremely straightforward, often just as accurate as an SVM but (usually) way faster. The launch point for more sophisticated methods, like random forests and boosting.

Lesson 5: Datasets and Questions

Behind any great machine learning project is a great dataset that the algorithm can learn from. We were inspired by a treasure trove of email and financial data from the Enron corporation, which would normally be strictly confidential but became public when the company went bankrupt in a blizzard of fraud. Follow our lead as we wrestle this dataset into a machine-learning-ready format, in anticipation of trying to predict cases of fraud.

Lesson 6 and 7: Regressions and Outliers

Regressions are some of the most widely used machine learning algorithms, and rightly share prominence with classification. What’s a fast way to make mistakes in regression, though? Have troublesome outliers in your data. We’ll tackle how to identify and clean away those pesky data points.

Lesson 8: Unsupervised Learning

**K-Means Clustering:** The flagship algorithm when you don’t have labeled data to work with, and a quick method for pattern-searching when approaching a dataset for the first time.

Lessons 9-12: Features, Features, Features

**Feature Creation:** Taking your human intuition about the world and turning it into data that a computer can use. **Feature Selection:** Einstein said it best: make everything as simple as possible, and no simpler. In this case, that means identifying the most important features of your data. **Principal Component Analysis:** A more sophisticated take on feature selection, and one of the crown jewels of unsupervised learning. **Feature Scaling:** Simple tricks for making sure your data and your algorithm play nicely together. Learning from Text: More information is in text than any other format, and there are some effective but simple tools for extracting that information.

Lessons 13-14: Validation and Evaluation

**Training/testing data split:** How do you know that what you’re doing is working? You don’t, unless you validate. The train-test split is simple to do, and the gold standard for understanding your results. **Cross-validation:** Take the training/testing split and put it on steroids. Validate your machine learning results like a pro. **Precision, recall, and F1 score:** After all this data-driven work, quantify your results with metrics tailored to what is most important to you.

Lesson 15: Wrapping it all Up

We take a step back and review what we’ve learned, and how it all fits together.

Plateforme

Udacity est une entreprise fondé par Sebastian Thrun, David Stavens, et Mike Sokolsky offrant cours en ligne ouvert et massif.

Selon Thrun, l'origine du nom Udacity vient de la volonté de l'entreprise d'être "audacieux pour vous, l'étudiant ". Bien que Udacity se concentrait à l'origine sur une offre de cours universitaires, la plateforme se concentre désormais plus sur de formations destinés aux professionnels.
