Machine Learning Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm

About Machine Learning Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm

In this course, you will learn what hyperparameters are, what Genetic Algorithm is, and what hyperparameter optimization is. In this course, you will

apply Genetic Algorithm to optimize the performance of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLP NNs)

. It is referred to as

hyperparameter tuning or parameter tuning

. You will also learn how to

do feature selection using Genetic Algorithm.

Hyperparameter optimization

will be done on two datasets:

A regression dataset for the prediction of cooling and heating loads of buildings

A classification dataset regarding the classification of emails into spam and non-spam

The SVM and MLP will be applied on the datasets without optimization and

compare their results

to after their optimization

Feature Selection

will be done on one dataset:

Classification of benign tumors from malignant tumors in a breast cancer dataset By the end of this course, you will have learnt

how to code Genetic Algorithm in Python and how to optimize your machine learning algorithms for maximum performance

. You would have also learnt how to

apply Genetic Algorithm for feature selection

.

To sum up:

You will learn what hyperparameters are (sometimes referred to as parameters, though different)

You will learn Genetic Algorithm

You will use Genetic Algorithm to optimize the performance of your machine learning algorithms

Maximize your model's accuracy and predictive abilities

Optimize the performance of SVMs and MLP Neural Networks

Apply feature selection to extract the features that are relevant to the predicted output

Get the best out of your machine learning model

Remove redundant features, which in return will reduce the time and complexity of your model

Understand what are the features that have a relationship to the output and which do not

You do not need to have a lot of knowledge and experience in optimization or Python programming - it helps, but not a must to succeed in this course.

This course will teach you how to

optimize the functionality of your machine learning algorithms

Where

every single line of code is explained thoroughly

The

code is written in a simple manner

that you will understand how things work and how to code Genetic Algorithm

even with zero knowledge in Python

Basically, you can think of this as not only a course that teaches you how to optimize your machine learning model, but also Python programming!

"This is my second course with Dana. This course is a

combination of Metaheuristic and machine learning

. It gives a wide picture of machine learning hyperparameter optimization.

I recommend taking this course

if you know basics of machine learning and you want to solve some problems using ML. By applying the techniques of GA optimization, you will have better performance of ML.

The codes provided in this course are very straightforward and easy to understand

. The course deserves five stars because of the lecture contents and examples. The instructor knowledgeable about​ the topic and talented in programming." --

"An excellent course!

Great for anyone interested in fine-tuning their machine-learning models

. I really enjoyed the from scratch implementations and how well they are explained. These implementations from scratch

help one understand the theory very well

. An interesting thing to point out is that this course uses Metaheustistics to optimise machine-learning. However, you can use machine-learning classifiers to help your Metaheuristic predict good or bad regions." --
