Machine learning and data use cases

This chapter overviews different machine learning types. We will look into differences between causal and prediction models, explore supervised and unsupervised learning, and finally understand the sub-types of supervised learning: classification and regression. 

Prediction vs. inference dilemma

Inference and prediction differences

Identify inference vs. prediction use cases

Inference (causal) models

Experiments and causal models

Identify non actionable variables

Prediction models (supervised learning)

Supervised modeling principles

Identify classification and regression models

Prediction models (unsupervised learning)

Unsupervised modeling use cases

Classification, regression or unsupervised models

Machine learning types

This chapter reviews key steps in scoping out business requirements, identifying and sizing machine learning opportunities, assessing the model performance, and identifying any performance risks in the process.

Business requirements

Identify situation, opportunity and action

Identify successful experiments

Model training

Model training process

Training, validation and test

Model performance measurement

Poor performance examples

Identify performance metrics

Machine learning risks

Fixing non performing models

Non-actionable models

Identify actionable recommendations

Business requirements and model design

This chapter will look into the best and worst practices of managing machine learning projects. We will identify most common machine learning mistakes, learn how to manage communication between the business and ML teams and finally address the challenges when deploying machine learning models to production.

Wrap-up

Managing machine learning projects

This course will introduce the key elements of machine learning to the business leaders. We will focus on the key insights and base practices how to structure business questions as modeling projects with the machine learning teams. You will understand the different types of models, what kind of business questions they help answer, or what kind of opportunities they can uncover, also learn to identify situations where machine learning should NOT be applied, which is equally important. You will understand the difference between inference and prediction, predicting probability and amounts, and how using unsupervised learning can help build meaningful customer segmentation strategy.
