About this course
This course provides students with an overview of machine learning techniques, focusing on practical applications in business analytics. Students begin with the basics of data exploration and data preparation.

The course covers a range of techniques including linear regression, logistic regression, adaptive boosting, decision trees, random forests, K- Nearest neighbors, and support vector machines. It also introduces students to the basics of contemporary model architectures (e.g., neural network and generative AI). The course aims to equip students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for addressing real-world challenges in business analytics.
