Machine learning with Python
Machine learning is changing the way we understand and use data. From self-driving cars and recommendation systems to climate forecasting and urban planning, machine learning is at the heart of innovation. It’s a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that helps computers recognize patterns, learn from data, and make decisions—without needing to be programmed step-by-step for every task.
At Geo-ICT, we focus on using machine learning to unlock insights in geodata. Whether you’re analyzing satellite images, tracking environmental changes, or predicting natural disasters, machine learning helps make sense of complex spatial data. These techniques allow us to solve real problems and make informed decisions based on patterns in large datasets.
In this course, you’ll dive into the fundamentals of machine learning using Python—one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Python’s simplicity and flexibility, along with its powerful libraries, make it the go-to language for machine learning projects. Using tools like Jupyter Notebook, Scikit-learn, and Matplotlib, you’ll learn how to turn data into practical, visual insights that help you better understand and shape the world around you.
Note: Basic knowledge of Python is required. If you’re new to Python, we recommend starting with our Python programming course. Prefer R? Check out our Machine Learning with R course.
What will you learn
You’ll start by learning the essential concepts that form the foundation of machine learning. This includes understanding what supervised and unsupervised learning are, how classification and regression work, and why things like overfitting and underfitting matter. With these concepts in place, you’ll begin training your own models and evaluating how well they perform.
The course focuses on building models using Python’s most popular tools. You’ll get hands-on with Anaconda and Jupyter Notebooks, learn how to prepare and clean datasets using Pandas, and apply machine learning algorithms with Scikit-learn. You’ll also visualize your data and results using Matplotlib and Seaborn, making it easier to understand what’s happening inside your models.
From clustering and dimensionality reduction to decision trees and K-nearest neighbors, you’ll explore the full range of core machine learning techniques. Everything is taught in a practical, step-by-step way, with real examples that are especially relevant for those working with geodata. You’ll also complete a final project that puts all your new skills to the test.
