This half-day course builds upon Predictive Modeling with Python, covering best practices for building predictive models that perform well in noisy, real-world domains. Feature learning/engineering and model ensembling will be the focus of the course. Examples and exercises will be implemented using iPython notebooks and the SciKit-Learn library. Participants must have taken Predictive Modeling with Python or obtain instructor permission to enroll.

This course is targeted primarily at graduate students who have not already taken a full course in machine learning.
