This assessment is a graded quiz based on the modules covered this week.

In this module, you will learn about the origin and evolution of machine learning. You will also learn the different ways a machine can learn, and the essential components needed to develop a machine-learning model. You will get an overview of different types of algorithms that you can use to train machine-learning models for specific business problems. The nature and type of data needed to train these algorithms will also be discussed. The module also discusses the different real-world and business best practices and challenges one will have to be sensitive to while deploying machine learning to support business operations.

In this module, you will re-examine several machine learning models. We will discuss hands-on tasks that machine learning is commonly applied to, and you will learn to measure the performance of machine learning systems. We will work with a popular library for the Python programming language called scikit-learn, which has assembled state-of-the-art implementations of many machine learning algorithms.

In this module, you will learn about artificial neural networks (ANNs) and their role in machine learning. You will also learn about the perceptron, the first real-world application based on neural networks. The concepts of weights, biases, and activation functions along with their role in analyzing data and training of ANNs will be discussed. We will also discuss how concepts like backpropagation and gradient descent affect the process of learning with ANNs.

In this module, you will learn about using neural network technique for predictive tasks. You will also learn how to use the Python open source TensorFlow machine learning library for implementing regression and classification models to draw insights from structured and unstructured text data. The module also discusses methods for hyperparameter tuning for performance improvement. Lastly, this module will help you to define deep learning models and look at the problem of overfitting and look at ways to identify and overcome it.

In this module, you will be introduced to the concept of word and image embeddings which are transforming natural language and image processing applications. You will learn how to generate word embeddings using a corpus of text and also use pre trained word embeddings like Glove and Fasttext. This module will also discuss convolution neural networks and image vector-based models for image classification tasks.
