01What machine learning isSeparate learning from rules, and recognise when a model is the wrong tool. 12 min 02Data and featuresTurn a table into features and keep the target separate. 14 min 03Train, validation and testHold out data so your score means something. 13 min 04RegressionPredict a continuous value with linear regression and understand its assumptions. 15 min 05ClassificationPredict a class with logistic regression and read probabilities carefully. 15 min 06EvaluationChoose metrics that match the cost of mistakes. 15 min 07Overfitting and regularisationSpot a model that memorises and use regularisation to keep it honest. 14 min 08ClusteringFind groups without labels and evaluate whether the groups mean anything. 13 min 09PipelinesChain preprocessing and models so evaluation cannot leak. 14 min 10Responsible machine learningDocument data, measure subgroup performance and decide when not to ship. 16 min
