Machine Learning Workshop

Hands-on Machine Learning Workshop

The Machine Learning Workshop is designed to provide students, faculty members, researchers and professionals with practical exposure to the concepts and workflows used in modern Machine Learning.

The programme combines Machine Learning fundamentals with hands-on activities covering Python, data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, model building, evaluation and practical ML applications.

What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence in which algorithms learn patterns from data and use those patterns to make predictions, classifications or other data-driven decisions.

Participants learn how a Machine Learning workflow progresses from collecting and preparing data to training, evaluating and applying a model.

Machine Learning Workflow

The workshop introduces the complete Machine Learning workflow:

• Problem definition
• Data collection
• Data preprocessing
• Exploratory data analysis
• Feature engineering
• Model selection
• Model training
• Model evaluation
• Prediction and deployment considerations

Python for Machine Learning

Python is widely used for data analysis and Machine Learning. The workshop introduces the Python tools and libraries required to work with datasets and develop machine learning models.

• Python fundamentals for ML
• NumPy
• Pandas
• Matplotlib
• Scikit-learn
• Google Colab / Jupyter-based environments

Data Preprocessing

Data preparation is an important part of a Machine Learning workflow. Participants learn techniques for preparing datasets before model training.

• Handling missing values
• Data cleaning
• Categorical data handling
• Feature scaling
• Train-test splitting
• Feature selection

Exploratory Data Analysis

Participants learn how to inspect and understand datasets before applying Machine Learning algorithms. Practical exercises can include statistical summaries, visualizations and identification of patterns in data.

Supervised Learning

The workshop introduces supervised learning techniques where models learn from labelled examples.

• Regression
• Linear Regression
• Classification
• Logistic Regression
• Decision Trees
• Random Forest
• K-Nearest Neighbors

Unsupervised Learning

Participants are introduced to techniques that identify patterns or structures in datasets without predefined target labels.

• Clustering
• K-Means clustering
• Customer or data segmentation
• Dimensionality reduction concepts

Machine Learning Model Evaluation

Participants learn how to evaluate machine learning models using appropriate metrics and validation approaches.

• Training and testing datasets
• Accuracy
• Precision
• Recall
• F1-score
• Confusion matrix
• Regression evaluation metrics

Overfitting, Underfitting & Model Generalization

The programme introduces common Machine Learning challenges such as overfitting and underfitting and discusses approaches for building models that generalize better to unseen data.

Feature Engineering

Participants learn the role of features in Machine Learning and explore practical approaches for preparing useful model inputs from raw datasets.

Hands-on Machine Learning Development

Practical exercises form an important part of the workshop. Participants work with datasets, preprocess data, train models, evaluate results and interpret predictions.
