SUMMARY:Introduction to Machine Learning: Classification and Clustering
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers an exploration of machine learning models 
 for clustering and classification. With the increasing availability of 
 large datasets\, these models play a crucial role in extracting valuable 
 insights and making informed decisions. In this workshop\, participants 
 will gain insight into clustering algorithms such as K-means\, explore 
 popular classification algorithms like decision trees\, and learn about 
 anomaly detection. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on 
 exercises\, participants will learn how to preprocess data\, select 
 relevant features\, and evaluate model performance. By the conclusion of 
 the workshop\, participants will have a solid foundation in building and 
 deploying machine learning models for clustering and classification 
 tasks.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will use cloud-based platforms\, so you 
 don’t need to have Python installed. Please make sure that you have a 
 Google Colaboratory (https://colab.research.google.com/) account. This 
 workshop will involve hands-on exercises that require the use of 
 programming tools and libraries commonly used in machine learning\, such as 
 Python and Scikit-learn. As such\, prior familiarity with Python 
 programming is recommended for participants to fully benefit from the 
 practical component of the workshop.\n\nSign up for other Machine Learning 
 workshops in this series: \n\n\n	Upcoming Digital Scholarship 
 workshops.\n\n\nLocation Details\n\n\n	Location:\n	*ONLINE*\n\n\nIf you 
 have any questions\, concerns\, or accessibility needs please email
