NYC Data Science Academy
This 20-hour Machine Learning with Python course covers all the basic machine learning methods and Python modules (especially Scikit-Learn) for implementing them. The five sessions cover: simple and multiple Linear regressions; classification methods including logistic regression, discriminant analysis and naive bayes, support vector machines (SVMs) and tree based methods; cross-validation and feature selection; regularization; principal component analysis (PCA) and clustering algorithms. After successfully completing of this course, you will be able to explain the principles of machine learning algorithms and implement these methods to analyze complex datasets and make predictions in Python.

Datanauts 121: A Professor Takes Us To Machine Learning School - Packet Pushers -
Today on the Datanauts podcast, we talk with Vivian Zhang, a Machine Learning (ML) expert. If you've been hearing about ML from IT marketing folks and it all sounds like magic unicorn dust, this is your show. We're cutting through the cruft to get to what's real. Vivian Zhang is CTO and Chief Data Scientist at the NYC Data Science Academy. We establish a baseline of what machine learning is, how it fits into the broader category of artificial intelligence, and how ML might move the needle in IT infrastructure.

They are currently in the NYC Data Science Academy 12 week full time Data Science Bootcamp program taking place between January 11th to April 1st, 2016. This post is based on their fourth class project - Machine learning(due on the 8th week of the program). The Higgs Boson Challenge, hosted by Kaggle, asked the data scientist community to utilize machine learning to accurately predict if a particle was a Higgs-Boson particle or not; more specifically if a signal detected was either a'tau tau decay of a Higgs boson' or just'background'. The datasets provided were the training and test set with 250,000 and 550,000 observations, respectively. The training set contained all the same features as the test with two additional columns of'Label' and'Weight' that gave the accurate classifiers to help train our models.
