Python: Scikit-Learn

Workshop Details

In this workshop we will learn how to perform foundational machine learning tasks using scikit-learn. Scikit-learn is a popular Python library that allows you to streamline machine learning projects and offers a wide variety of models. During the four days, we will have hands-on experience on supervised and unsupervised methods, including classification, regression, clustering, and dimensionality reduction, as well as methods for validation and evaluation. We will also learn how to use other handy scikit-learning tools, like pipelines.  

Prerequisites: Participants should be familiar with Python at the level of the Python Fundamentals workshop, another introductory Python workshop, or be a self-taught Python coder. No previous machine learning knowledge is assumed.  

Event Details

All Research Code Academy workshops are held in person; there is no hybrid option or recording available. These are interactive, hands-on workshops; participants are required to bring their laptop and charger.

All workshops include coffee and light breakfast pastries in the morning. Lunch breaks will be provided; participants are responsible for their own lunch.

Fees

Limited spots are available for these in-person workshops. Workshops have a registration fee. If you are a member of the Northwestern community and the registration fee would prevent you from attending a workshop, please request a fee reduction using this form. Financial support requests must be made at least three weeks prior to a workshop.

Refunds and Cancellations

Research Code Academy refunds (minus Eventbrite and credit card fees) will be given to cancellations seven (7) days before the event.

Northwestern registrants needing to cancel with fewer than seven (7) days notice can contact nuit_rcds@northwestern.edu for possible refunds.
