Machine Learning course – Python, Jupyter, Docker!

This course provides a hands-on introduction to building and deploying machine learning models using Python, Anaconda, Jupyter, and Docker. We’ll start by developing a machine learning model that predicts car preferences based on age and gender. You’ll learn how to gather, clean, and preprocess data using libraries like Pandas, explore trends through visualizations with Matplotlib and Seaborn, and select the best machine learning algorithms using Scikit-Learn. You will then train and evaluate the model to ensure accurate predictions.

Next, we’ll create a web application. This includes building a simple, user-friendly interface and exposing the machine learning model as a REST API. You’ll learn how to define API endpoints in Flask that take input data (age and gender), process it, and return real-time predictions from the model. We’ll also explore how to send and handle HTTP requests using Python’s `requests` library, covering both GET and POST methods.

To prepare for deployment, you’ll test and debug the web application to ensure it processes inputs and returns accurate outputs. Finally, we’ll package the entire application, including the machine learning model, into a Docker container. This containerization will allow you to deploy the application consistently across different environments.

By the end of this course, you’ll gain practical experience in the full machine learning lifecycle: data preparation, model building, web app creation, API exposure, and deployment. This skillset is vital for bringing machine learning solutions to real-world applications.
