Course Overview

Practical knowledge of various machine learning algorithms is essential for machine learning enthusiasts and experts alike. In this course, we focus extensively on one of the most intuitive and easy-to-implement ML algorithms out there – K-nearest neighbors, or KNN for short. Step by step, we will first lay the foundations and expand your mathematical toolbox. Then, you will progress to coding and using Python’s scikit-learn library to solve a randomly generated classification problem. Finally, you will apply KNN to a couple of regression tasks. In other words – you will learn all the subtleties that should be considered when applying the KNN algorithm in your future practice.

This course has amazing visualizations while teaching, that I have never seen like this before! This is one of the very exciting experiences I ever had. I hope every other course of "365datascience" would be like this...!

“KNN is an essential step in the development of every machine learning practitioner. It serves as a perfect example of a rather simple algorithm performing incredibly well and allowing for diverse practical applications. Moreover, it is great fun to visually compare the results from different KNN models on the same dataset.”
