The world is quietly being reshaped by machine learning. We no longer need to teach computers how to perform complex tasks like image recognition or text translation: instead, we build systems that let them learn how to do it themselves. R is very powerful open source software, which is the best tool for data analytics and machine learning, used by giant corporates including Google. In this course you will be learning how to use R and Machine Learning algorithms to solve business problems and extracting insights to enable to companies to stay one step ahead of their competitors.
