Imbalanced Data & Anomaly Detection
About the course
We often face the problem of looking for a needle in a haystack of data. A tedious and challenging task that requires specific tools to tackle. Enter Imbalanced Data and Anomaly Detection, a training badge to equip you with two specific tools to do so. One is aimed at working with imbalanced datasets in supervised learning, for instance by creating many more needles so they are easier to find. The other will help you to identify what a needle is in the first place, using unsupervised anomaly detection methods. The first day will begin laying the foundation of anomaly detection by exploring the context and different types of anomalies, discussing those unique to your business and testing your skills in detecting anomalies using data plotting. We will then look at the first challenge: imbalanced datasets. Learning why they are considered an issue and how to maximize model results from imbalanced datasets. The second day will delve into anomaly detection. Beginning with unsupervised learning, looking at its application and evaluating the effectiveness. Then moving onto time-series anomaly detection, using Z-score, decomposition, and forecasting. Of course, this training would not be complete without ensuring your newly found knowledge can be translated into reality. Thus, the final hurdle will be an analytical task whereby you apply what you have learned to detect anomalies in a real-life case.Why this is for you
You might be confident at building models and interpreting the results, however, without knowledge of these evaluation metrics, you most likely will obtain naïve results rendering your efforts useless. Equipping yourself with these tools for detecting anomalies and imbalanced data will empower you to be confident in your models and applying them in business.For whom
This training course is designed with both Data Scientists and Data Engineers in mind. At Expert level, this training requires previous knowledge and the completion of our Classification Using Tree Models course (3202).What you’ll learn
