Machine Learning Practical Course with scikit-learn

Build, evaluate and tune real ML models in Python with scikit-learn, from regression to clustering

Ghosla Academy · AI Team

Machine learning interviews in India test whether you can take a dataset, prepare it properly, train a model and honestly report how good it is. This course teaches exactly that workflow using scikit-learn, the standard Python library for classical ML. You will work through regression, classification, model selection and clustering with small, realistic datasets such as used-car listings, loan applications and shopper data, and finish with two portfolio projects and a saved model you can reuse.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain supervised and unsupervised learning with clear examples
  • Prepare data with train/test splits, imputers, scalers and encoders
  • Train and evaluate regression models using MAE, RMSE and R²
  • Train classifiers and judge them with precision, recall and F1
  • Tune models with cross-validation and GridSearchCV
  • Cluster data with k-means and save models with joblib

What you build

  • Used-car price predictor with regression
  • Loan approval classifier with tuned models

What you need to start

  • Comfort with basic Python (variables, lists, functions)
  • Some familiarity with pandas is helpful but not required
  • A laptop that can run Jupyter Notebook
