About this skill path

More data is created and collected every day. Machine learning models can find patterns in big data to help us make data-driven decisions. In this skill path, you will learn to build machine learning models using regression, classification, and clustering. Along the way, you will create real-world projects to demonstrate your new skills, from basic models all the way to neural networks.

Skills you'll gain

  • Create machine learning models
  • Evaluate model performance
  • Build supervised and unsupervised models
  • Build neural networks in PyTorch
