Welcome to Unit 6Supervised Learning – Classification
In this unit, we continue with supervised learning by focusing on classification, a technique used to predict categorical outcomes. Classification is crucial in many machine learning applications, such as spam detection, medical diagnoses, and image recognition. We will begin with logistic regression, one of the most widely used methods for binary classification problems, and explore its implementation using Python. You will learn how to build a logistic regression model, interpret its coefficients, and make predictions. Evaluating the model's performance is a key part of classification, and we will cover important metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. By the end of this unit, you will have the knowledge and skills to implement, evaluate, and refine classification models for a wide range of practical problems, ensuring you can apply these techniques effectively in real-world scenarios. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
