Inhalt |
Python is a crucial programming language in the fields of data analysis and machine learning. It is an essential tool for anyone aspiring to work with cutting-edge machine learning and data science technologies.
In this course, students will learn to:
- Set up Python on their personal computers.
- Understand and use basic control structures and data types in Python.
- Utilize key Python libraries for data analysis and visualization.
- Train simple machine learning models.
The course includes both lectures and hands-on practical sessions, allowing students to apply their newly acquired skills in real-world scenarios.
|
Lernziele |
- Understand the fundamentals of Python programming, including syntax, data types, and control structures.
- Develop the ability to write Python scripts for basic data manipulation and analysis.
- Gain proficiency in using Python libraries such as Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-Learn for healthcare data analysis.
- Apply Python programming skills to real-world healthcare problems and datasets. |

Hinweise |
Teaching methods:
- Lectures: Weekly lectures to introduce and explain core concepts.
- Weekly Hands-On Sessions: Practical exercises and coding sessions to apply concepts learned in lectures.
- Project Work: A final project to synthesize learning and demonstrate practical application in a healthcare context. The final project will be conducted in the format of a machine learning competition where students will try to obtain the best possible prediction performance on a real-world medical dataset. Please note that the course will *not* be graded based on the ranking in this competition.
- Presentations: Opportunities for students to present their final project and receive feedback. |
