Dave on Data

You must use the best data to build the most valuable machine learning models for data science and AI. This idea is summarized in a famous quote, “Data trumps algorithm.” In this hands-on course, you will learn some of the most useful data wrangling techniques for producing the best data for your machine learning models.

This course aims for you to return to work and immediately employ these techniques to wrangle data, enhance data analyses, and craft the most valuable machine learning models. You will get hands-on experience wrangling data using the Python pandas library via a series of labs.

Want to know the best part?

Although the course uses Python because it is free, all the concepts/techniques you will learn apply to any machine learning technology you might use.

This is part of an optional Machine Learning Bootcamp. Learn more about the courses offered, or attend this individual course.
