MODULE 3

Skills: Collaborative Filtering, Unsupervised Learning, Recommender Systems,

Unsupervised Learning, Recommenders, Reinforcement Learning

In this module, you'll explore unsupervised learning algorithms, including clustering and anomaly detection. You'll gain an understanding of K-means algorithm, learn how to optimize it and use it for spotting unusual events. You'll also cover recommendation systems using both collaborative and content-based filtering with TensorFlow, learning about binary labels, mean normalization, and related items. Further, you'll discover reinforcement learning, creating a deep Q-learning neural network to land a virtual lunar lander on Mars. This includes working with state-action value functions, decision-making policies, and ε-greedy policy. Optional content delves deeper into feature reduction, PCA, and refinement strategies in reinforcement learning.
