Machine Learning Foundation (Math Emphasis) | Exploring Statistics, Algorithms and Neural Networks (TTML5504)
Machine Learning Foundation is a hands-on introduction to the mathematics and algorithms used in Data Science, as well as creating the foundation and building the intuition necessary for solving complex machine learning problems. The course provides a good kick start in several core areas with the intent on continued, deeper learning as a follow on. This “skills-centric” course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, with extensive practical exercises designed to reinforce fundamental skills, concepts and best practices taught throughout the course. Throughout the course students will learn about and explore popular machine learning algorithms, their applicability and limitations and practical application of these methods in a machine learning environment.
Although this course is highly technical in nature, it is a foundation-level machine learning class for Intermediate skilled team members who are relatively new to AI and machine learning. This course as-is is not for advanced participants.

Question: What if I have to reschedule my class due to conflict?
Answer: Ten (10) business days’ notice is required to reschedule a class with no additional fees. Notify TOPTALENT LEARNING as soon as possible at 469-721-6100 or by written notification to info@toptalentlearning.com to avoid rescheduling penalties.
Question: How do I enroll for this class?
Answer: Please contact our team at 469-721-6100; we will gladly guide you through the online purchasing process.
Question: What happens once I purchase a class?
Answer: You will receive a receipt and an enrollment confirmation sent to the email you submitted at purchase. Your enrollment email will have instructions on how to access the class. Any additional questions our team is here to support you. Please call us at 469-721-6100.
Question: What is your late policy?
Answer: If a student is 15 minutes late, they risk losing their seat to a standby student. If a student is 30 minutes late or more, they will need to reschedule. A no-show fee will apply. Retakes are enrolled on a stand-by basis. The student must supply previously issued courseware. Additional fees may apply.
Question: What happens when I finish my class?
Answer: You will receive a ‘Certificate of Completion’ once you complete the class. If you purchased an exam voucher for the class, a team member from TOPTALENT LEARNING will reach out to discuss your readiness for the voucher and make arrangements to send it.
