Course details

Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning where algorithms parse unlabeled data. The focus is not on sorting data into known categories but uncovering hidden patterns. Unsupervised learning plays a big role in modern marketing segmentation, fraud detection, and market basket analysis. This course shows how to use leading machine-learning techniques—cluster analysis, anomaly detection, and association rules—to get accurate, meaningful results from big data.

Instructor Keith McCormick reviews the most common clustering algorithms: hierarchical, k-means, BIRCH, and self-organizing maps (SOM). He uses these algorithms for anomaly detection, with additional specialized functions available in IBM SPSS Modeler, and goes over how HDBSCAN works. He closes the course with a review of association rules and sequence detection, and provides some resources for learning more.

All exercises are demonstrated in IBM SPSS Modeler and IBM SPSS Statistics, but the emphasis is on concepts.

    I think the presenter is the best public speaker on this platform. His delivery is clear, crisp, intelligent, well pronounced, appropriate pace, professional. (No junk speech or verbal ticks or "you know" or "right?" or "like" annoyances.) I know understand how much the presentation helps the content.
