We recommend that you install Anaconda distribution as it will get you Python, scikit-learn and many other data science libraries on your computer in easy one step installation.

Our instructor led online classroom course specializes in teaching students cutting edge machine learning algorithms using Python. For more questions you can email us at

Python programming language is cross platform. It’s an interpreted language and its community has built interpreters for all the popular operating systems. We have trained students in Machine learning with different operating systems like Windows, Mac, Linux, Ubuntu etc.

If your machine has 4GB of RAM and a free space of 0.5 GB on your hard disk, you are good to go.

One more thing we recommend is a Mic. You will use it to interact with the instructor during the live classroom sessions. However if you don’t have a mic, you can still attend the course and use the chat feature of our online classroom.


Before the training starts we send out a detailed step by step guide on what to do before your first class. Our handbook will give all the links, resources and guide necessary to install the relevant software on all the popular operating systems. It takes about 15 minutes to go through the instructions and make the necessary installations before the class starts.

Sometimes students face issues installing and we help them get over their issue. In short you will not have any issue in getting setup before the training starts.

Python is one of the Top 3 programming languages of the world. The main reason for it to hold this spot is its simplicity and ease of use. If there is any programming language that somebody wants to pick for understanding software, Python is a good choice. It is simple, data friendly and last but not the least open source.

In our machine learning course students join from all over the world who don’t have any programming knowledge. We help them become ready to code in Python in 2-3 weeks as part of our machine learning course.

There are many reasons why Python is ideal for machine learning. Of the many the most important ones are as follows:

One of the top 5 programming languages of the world – You can do a google search for top programming languages and you will find Python in the top 5 list. Its a program that is immensely popular among data scientists. Its the default programming language for machine learning, data analysis and data munging. All the leading libraries of today provide Python extensions. For example Apache Spark can be accessed using Python.

Simple and easy to learn – Python is a simple programming language. It is easy to setup and get started on it quickly. Its syntax is simple and easy to understand. It can be picked up quickly by any new programmer within hours.

Open Source – It’s an open source programming language. It’s freely available and you don’t have to pay any licensing fees.

Cross Platform – It is an interpreted language and it can be run on all major operating systems. We have students that use Mac, Windows, Linux, Ubuntu etc and it works exactly the same in all the platforms.

There are many more reasons that make Python a great choice for machine learning but the ones above are the most important ones that come to our mind.

The most important machine learning scientific libraries are numPy, Pandas, MatplotLib & scikit-learn. numPy and Pandas makes data loading and data manipulation a breeze.

MatplotLib gives intuitive out of the box charts that makes data visualization a treat to the eyes. Scikit-learn is packed with all the important supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms.

In our course we cover these libraries in detail to get you ready for real world machine learning.

Important machine learning scientific libraries are numPy, Pandas, MatplotLib & scikit-learn. They help you build a pipeline for data ingestion, data cleanup, data manipulation, data visualization and finally machine learning and predictive analysis. We recommend you to install Anaconda distribution of Python. In this one install, all the data science libraries of Python gets installed in one shot. In our course we teach each of these libraries in great detail and teach special techniques for effectively using these libraries.

Data scientists use many different kinds of machine learning algorithms to discover patterns in big data that lead to actionable insights. At a high level, these different algorithms can be classified into two groups based on the way they “learn” about data to make predictions: supervised and unsupervised learning.

Supervised machine learning is the more commonly used between the two. It includes such algorithms as linear and logistic regression, multi-class classification, and support vector machines. Supervised learning is so named because the data scientist acts as a guide to teach the algorithm what conclusions it should come up with. It’s similar to the way a child might learn arithmetic from a teacher. Supervised learning requires that the algorithm’s possible outputs are already known and that the data used to train the algorithm is already labeled with correct answers. For example, a classification algorithm will learn to identify animals after being trained on a dataset of images that are properly labeled with the species of the animal and some identifying characteristics.

Logistic regression was developed by statistician David Cox in 1958.The binary logistic model is used to estimate the probability of a binary response based on one or more predictor (or independent) variables (features). It allows one to say that the presence of a risk factor increases the odds of a given outcome by a specific factor.

Logistic regression measures the relationship between the categorical dependent variable and one or more independent variables by estimating probabilities using a logistic function Logistic regression is applicable, for example, if:

1. we want to model the probabilities of a response variable as a function of some explanatory variables, e.g. “success” of admission as a function of gender.

2. we want to perform descriptive discriminate analyses such as describing the differences between individuals in separate groups as a function of explanatory variables, e.g. student admitted and rejected as a function of gender

3. we want to predict probabilities that individuals fall into two categories of the binary response as a function of some explanatory variables, e.g. what is the probability that a student is admitted given she is a female

4. we want to classify individuals into two categories based on explanatory variables, e.g. classify new students into “admitted” or “rejected” group depending on their gender.


Decision trees have three main parts: a root node, leaf nodes and branches. The root node is the starting point of the tree, and both root and leaf nodes contain questions or criteria to be answered. Branches are arrows connecting nodes, showing the flow from question to answer. Each node typically has two or more nodes extending from it. For example, if the question in the first node requires a “yes” or “no” answer, there will be one leaf node for a “yes” response, and another node for “no.”

Naïve Bayes is a probabilistic classifier based on applying Bayes’ Theorem with strong (naïve) independence assumptions between the features. Naïve Bayes was developed the 1960s and was primarily used for text categorization. It is still an apt method for judging documents as belonging to one category or another. Naïve Bayes is highly scalable and training Naïve Bayes model takes linear time.

Ex: Classifying a document sentiment as either positive or negative

AccordionCross-validation is a model valuation technique for assessing how the results of a statistical analysis generalize to an independent data set. It is mainly used in settings where the goal is prediction and one wants to estimate how well a predictive model works on independent data. Cross-validation is implemented by dividing dataset into n-equal parts and repeatedly testing the model accuracy on one part of the dataset. This process ensures an optimal model and avoids overfitting. Sample Description

An error in a machine learning algorithm prediction can result from a high bias or high variance. High bias is an error from wrong assumptions in the learning algorithm. High bias can cause the model to miss out on the relation between target variable and features. The variance is an error from sensitivity to small fluctuations in the training set. High variance causes overfitting in the model by tailoring the model specifically for seen data. Bias-Variance tradeoff is the problem of simultaneously minimizing these two sources of error that prevents prediction algorithms from generalizing beyond their training dataset.

Bootstrap aggregating, also called bagging, is a machine learning ensemble algorithm designed to improve the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms. Bagging was proposed by Leo Breiman in 1994 to improve classification by combining classification of randomly generated training sets. The process involves training classifiers on m-random sets of data taken from original dataset with replacement, and taking the output result as the average of the classifier results. Bagging significantly reduces variance in prediction and their by overfitting and is widely used in building inherently unstable decision trees.

Similar to bagging, random forest is an ensemble learning technique for classification, regression, and other tasks, by building a multitude of decision trees at training time and outputting the average of these trained classifiers (mode of the results for classification and average of the results for regression). Random forest differs from bagging by taking only a subset of the features each time whereas in bagging, we consider all the features.

Boosting is a machine learning ensemble algorithm developed on the principle that a set of weak-learners, when taken together, can create a strong learning algorithm. This process involves iteratively learning weak classifiers with respect to a distribution and adding them to a final strong classifier. This adding is weighted in accordance with weak learner’s accuracy.

Deep learning is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on learning data representations as opposed to traditional task-specific algorithms. This involves in developing a cascade of multiple layers of nonlinear processing units for feature extraction and transformation (ex: neural networks). Layers that have been used in deep learning include hidden layers of an artificial neural network and sets of propositional formulas.

Traditional programs take data as input and produces data as output.

However a machine learning algorithm takes data as input but produces a program as an output. This machine generated program can now take new data, process it and produce output data.

Machine learning algorithms automate the process of creating programs using historical data. In simple words, it gives computers the capability to extract knowledge from data and store it for future judgement.

Wikipedia defines machine learning as…



unsupervised machine learning is more closely aligned with what some call true artificial intelligence — the idea that a computer can learn to identify complex processes and patterns without a human to provide guidance along the way. Although unsupervised learning is prohibitively complex for some simpler enterprise use cases, it opens the doors to solving problems that humans normally would not tackle. Some examples of unsupervised machine learning algorithms include k-means clustering, principal and independent component analysis, and association rules.




At this point we need to re-calculate k new centroids of the clusters resulting from the previous step. After we have these k new centroids, a new binding has to be done between the same data set points and the nearest new center.

A loop has been generated.
