Using k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) in Python
In this video course, you’ll get a thorough introduction to the k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) algorithm in Python. The kNN algorithm is one of the most famous machine learning algorithms and an absolute must-have in your machine learning toolbox. Python is the go-to programming language for machine learning, so what better way to discover kNN than with Python’s famous packages NumPy and scikit-learn!
You’ll explore the kNN algorithm both in theory and in practice. It’s important to learn about the mechanics of machine learning algorithms to understand their potential and limitations. At the same time, it’s essential to understand how to use an algorithm in practice. With that in mind, you’ll also focus on the use of kNN
