Aim
This course teaches you how to build reliable supervised machine learning models using Python. You will learn the complete workflow—data preparation, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, tuning, and interpretation—using practical datasets and industry-standard tools (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn). By the end, you’ll be able to choose the right model for a problem, validate performance correctly, and deploy-ready your pipeline for real use cases.
Program Objectives
- Learn the End-to-End Workflow: Go from raw data to a tested, reproducible ML pipeline.
- Master Core Algorithms: Train and compare regression and classification models with confidence.
- Improve Model Performance: Apply feature engineering, scaling, and hyperparameter tuning.
- Evaluate Correctly: Use proper metrics, cross-validation, and avoid data leakage.
- Interpret Models: Understand feature importance and explain predictions responsibly.
- Hands-on Project: Build a complete supervised ML project with a final report.
Program Structure
Module 1: Supervised ML Foundations
- What supervised learning is (and when to use it).
- Regression vs classification with real examples.
- Key concepts: features, labels, training/testing, generalization.

Module 2: Data Preparation with Python
- Reading datasets with Pandas and building clean data frames.
- Handling missing values, outliers, and inconsistent data.
- Encoding categorical variables (one-hot, ordinal).
- Train/validation/test split and why it matters.
Module 3: Feature Engineering (Where Performance Comes From)
- Scaling and normalization (when required and why).
- Creating useful features from dates, text-like fields, and grouped data.
- Feature selection basics: correlation checks and simple selection strategies.
- Pipelines: making preprocessing + modeling reproducible.
Module 4: Regression Models in Practice
- Linear Regression and regularization (Ridge/Lasso).
- Tree-based regression (Decision Trees, Random Forests).
- Gradient Boosting basics (concept + practical workflow).
- Regression metrics: MAE, MSE/RMSE, R² (how to interpret them).
Module 5: Classification Models in Practice
- Logistic Regression, KNN, and Naive Bayes (use cases and limitations).
- Decision Trees, Random Forests, and boosting for classification.
- Classification metrics: precision, recall, F1-score, ROC-AUC.
- Confusion matrix interpretation and threshold tuning.
Module 6: Model Validation & Tuning
- Cross-validation: what it is and how it prevents false confidence.
- Hyperparameter tuning: GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV.
- Handling imbalance: class weights, resampling concepts, metric choice.
- Bias-variance tradeoff (in practical decision-making terms).
Module 7: Model Interpretability & Responsible ML
- Feature importance and permutation importance (how to use them).
- Interpretation for linear vs tree models (strengths and caveats).
- Error analysis: where the model fails and why.
- Responsible ML: fairness basics, data privacy, and avoiding overclaiming.
Module 8: Building an ML Pipeline (Project-Ready Workflow)
- Creating end-to-end Scikit-learn pipelines.
- Saving models and reproducible experiments (basic versioning concepts).
- Simple deployment readiness: input validation and consistent preprocessing.
- How to present results: clear reporting with metrics and visuals.
Final Project
- Build a complete supervised ML solution for a real dataset (choose one track):
- Track A (Regression): Predict a continuous outcome (e.g., house price, energy consumption).
- Track B (Classification): Predict a category (e.g., churn, disease risk, fraud detection).
- Deliverables: cleaned dataset, pipeline, model comparison, tuned best model, and final report.
