2) Introduction to Machine Learning Problem Framing
Welcome to Introduction to Machine Learning Problem Framing! This course helps you frame machine learning (ML) problems. This course does not cover how to implement ML or work with data.
Course Learning Objectives:
Course Learning Objectives:
- Define common ML terms.
- Describe examples of products that use ML and general methods of ML problem-solving used in each.

3) Data Preparation and Feature Engineering for Machine Learning
Machine learning helps us find patterns in data—patterns we then use to make predictions about new data points. To get those predictions right, we must construct the data set and transform the data correctly. This course covers these two key steps. We'll also see how training/serving considerations play into these steps.
Course Learning Objectives:
Course Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the relative impact of data quality and size to algorithms.
- Set informed and realistic expectations for the time to transform the data.
- Explain a typical process for data collection and transformation within the overall ML workflow.
- Collect raw data and construct a data set.
- Sample and split your data set with considerations for imbalanced data.
- Transform numerical and categorical data.
4) Clustering in Machine Learning
The clustering self-study is an implementation-oriented introduction to clustering.
Course Learning Objectives:
