Introduction to Machine Learning

Welcome to a very short course that covers introductory machine learning and some basic R coding.

All the slides for the course are available in pdf format here. If you want to download all the information (including code and data sets) click here.

You should watch the videos below first and then try to follow the code by downloading the software and running it youself.

Videos:

  1. Introduction to ML part 1 - stream video - download video
  2. Introduction to ML part 2 - stream video - download video
  3. Introduction to ML part 3 - stream video - download video
  4. Introduction to Rstudio - stream video - download video
  5. More coding with mlr - code - stream video - download video

Note that the last two videos are taken from a more general R course available here.

Setting up R

To run the code yourself make sure you have downloaded R and Rstudio.

Then, open up Rstudio and in the Console window type: install.packages(c('dplyr', 'readr', 'mlr', 'randomForest', 'h2o'))

If you have problems installing h2o, you might need a copy of Java JDK.

If you run into problems or find broken links please use the issues page.
