Workshop 1 – Practical Introduction to Supervised Learning with Python

  • Wednesday, September 9 th 2026, 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
  • Maximum number participants: 15

This workshop emphasizes the practical application of elementary supervised learning models using Python, a powerful and widely-used programming language in data science and machine learning.

Participants will explore essential techniques for data visualization and summarization, helping them understand and interpret datasets effectively. They will gain hands-on experience in applying basic classification and regression models, followed by an evaluation of model performance. This workshop is designed for starters in machine learning or those seeking to enhance their basic skills in Python for data analysis and predictive modeling.
