There are 5 modules in this course

In this module, you will establish ensemble learning techniques including bagging, boosting, and stacking. You'll learn how to combine multiple models to improve predictive performance and implement them using popular libraries like Scikit-learn, XGBoost, and LightGBM. Through hands-on practice, you'll evaluate ensemble models using cross-validation and learn to optimize their hyperparameters.

This module will help you master dimensionality reduction techniques to handle high-dimensional data effectively. You'll learn to apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce dimensionality while retaining key features, use t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) to visualize high-dimensional data in 2D/3D space for clustering and pattern recognition, and implement Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) for efficient dimensionality reduction, leveraging its speed and structure-preserving properties.

In this module, you'll focus on natural language processing techniques from basic text preprocessing to advanced sentiment analysis. You'll learn how to preprocess text data using tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming/lemmatization with Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) and spaCy. Through implementation of text classification using various techniques like Bag-of-Words, TF-IDF, and word embeddings, you'll gain practical experience in NLP tasks. You'll also train sentiment analysis models using Hugging Face Transformers and Scikit-learn.
