About the course

If you are interested in data-driven methods for predicting or decision-making, then this course is for you. The course focuses on advanced non-linear machine learning models both for tabular data and image data. If you have already taken the course Machine Learning with R, part 1, this is the perfect opportunity to deepen your skills in the rapidly evolving field of machine learning.
