Marketing data often requires categorization or labeling. In today’s age, marketing data can also be very big, or larger than what humans can reasonably tackle. In this course, students learn how to use supervised deep learning to train algorithms to tackle text classification tasks. Students walk through a conceptual overview of supervised machine learning and dive into real-world datasets through instructor-led tutorials in Python. The course concludes with a major project.
