Troubleshooting Python Machine Learning

Course details

You are a data scientist. Every day, you stare at reams of data trying to apply the latest and brightest of models to uncover new insights, but there seems to be an endless supply of obstacles. Your colleagues depend on you to monetize your firm's data - and the clock is ticking. What do you do?

Troubleshooting Python Machine Learning is the answer. We have systematically researched common ML problems documented online around data wrangling, debugging models such as Random Forests and SVMs, and visualizing tricky results. We leverage statistics from Stack Overflow, Medium, and GitHub to get a cross-section of what data scientists struggle with. We have collated for you the top issues, such as retrieving the most important regression features and explaining your results after clustering, and their corresponding solutions. We present these case studies in a problem-solution format, making it very easy for you to incorporate this into your knowledge.

Taking this course will help you to precisely debug your models and research pipelines, so you can focus on pitching new ideas and not fixing old bugs.

All the code and supporting files are available on GitHub

Rudy Lai is the founder of QuantCopy, a sales acceleration startup using AI to write sales emails to prospects. By taking in leads from your pipelines, QuantCopy researches them online and generates sales emails from that data. It also has a suite of email automation tools to schedule, send, and track email performancekey analytics that all feed back into how our AI generates content.

Prior to founding QuantCopy, Rudy ran HighDimension.IO, a machine learning consultancy, where he experienced firsthand the frustrations of outbound sales and prospecting. As a founding partner, he helped startups and enterprises with HighDimension.IO's Machine-Learning-as-a-Service, allowing them to scale up data expertise in the blink of an eye.
In the first part of his career, Rudy spent 5+ years in quantitative trading at leading investment banks such as Morgan Stanley. This valuable experience allowed him to witness the power of data, but also the pitfalls of automation using data science and machine learning. Quantitative trading was also a great platform from which to learn a lot about reinforcement learning and supervised learning topics in a commercial setting.

Rudy holds a Computer Science degree from Imperial College London, where he was part of the Dean's List, and received awards such as the Deutsche Bank Artificial Intelligence prize.
