Putting Machine Learning to Work:
During this one-day course, Keith McCormick shows how to translate organisational challenges into supervised and unsupervised learning solutions. How do you convert business challenges into effective machine learning models? Which techniques do you need to apply in which situation? This training is highly interactive and participative, and contains many real world examples.
Supervised learning solves modern analytical challenges and drives informed decision-making. Although the predictive power of machine learning models can be impressive, there is no benefit unless they inform value-focused actions. In addition, models must also be deployed in an automated fashion to continually support decision-making for residual impact. And while unsupervised methods open powerful analytic opportunities, they do not come with a clear path to deployment. This course will clarify when each form of machine learning best fits the business need and show you how to derive added value from both approaches.
Regression analysis, decision trees, neural networks - along with many other supervised learning techniques, provide powerful predictive insights when historical result values are available. Once these models are built, supervised learning models generate a propensity score which can be used to support or automate decision making throughout the organisation. We will explore how these moving parts fit together strategically.
Unsupervised methods such as cluster analysis, anomaly detection and association rules are exploratory in nature and do not generate a predictive score like supervised learning models. So how do you take these models and automate them in support of organizational decision-making? This course will show that.
This course will demonstrate a variety of examples, starting with the exploration and interpretation of candidate models and their applications. Opportunities to act on the results of these models will be considered. You will also observe a mixture of models, including business rules, supervised models and unsupervised models, can be used together in specific real-world situations for various problems like insurance and fraud detection.
