- I have taught various continuing education courses in machine learning, including at Institut Curie or (from 2018 to 2020) with CentraleSupelec Executive Education or for individual companies. Over the course of one or two days, I propose to introduce participants to various machine learning concepts, in French or in English. The courses can include practical sessions in Python. For examples of practical sessions, see my machine learning notebooks on github.
Online courses with OpenClassrooms
[In French] I have contributed to setting up two paths: Data Scientist an Machine Learning Engineer in collaboration with CentraleSupélec. I have also designed, written and shot four courses:
- Évaluez et améliorez les performances d'un algorithme de machine learning ;
- Explorez vos données avec des algorithmes non-supervisés ;
- Entraînez un modèle prédictif linéaire ;
- Utilisez des modèles supervisés non linéaires.
