Introduction

 


This is an introductory course that lets you have a taste of AI, Machine Learning and R Language. You will get an invaluable experience to understand Machine Learning Models and their business applications. Consider taking the first step to get yourself prepared for the imminent Big Data era.

 


Machine learning is a subset of AI and Data Science. It is an algorithmic approach of data mining and predictive modeling that enables software applications to become more accurate in predicting outcomes without being explicitly programmed. The essence is to ask your computer to self-learn massive data to look for hidden patterns. The Machine Learning approach of predictive data analysis is changing the traditional way how a company gets business insight from the company data.

 


Overview

 


The following three questions would summarize what you are able to learn in just EIGHT hours:

 


1. How to plot AAStock-Style of Charts on daily HK/US Stock Prices, FX and Precious Metal Prices in 3 seconds?

2. How to make Stock Buy/Sell Decisions with Machine Learning Techniques?

3. How to make a computer to understand the Textual Customer Feedback on the website for a restaurant owner?

 


This is an introductory course that will equip you with the basic R Programming skills to get you familiar with selected topics of popular machine learning models. It covers the skills of data cleansing and concepts of Machine Learning, a number of Regression Models, Decision Trees and Random Forest Classifiers.

 


We will use real-life business cases to illustrate and apply what you will have learnt. You will find programming solutions to all of the above three questions and you will practically "do it yourself" with R with confidence.
