Data Engineer at GEI went to the workshop to learn and systematize what I knew about machine learning so far. The most important thing for me was to familiarize myself with Kaggle and get practical skills, for example, how to use Jupyter Notebooks and write my algorithms in them. It is worth noting that Vladimir leads the workshop in such a way that you can easily keep up before you have no special training.
Thanks to clear instructions on how to prepare for the workshop, I created an Anaconda environment and installed basic Python packages for machine learning.
During the workshop, I learned which Python libraries are used in Data Science and what they are used for. So far I have spent a lot of time setting up the environment, a choice of Python version and libraries is supported. The workshops (as well as the preparation for the workshops) helped me get through this in a very short time.
Master classes are held in classrooms, with a nice atmosphere and teamwork. Vladimir runs a good school :) He starts with a small level of difficulty, gradually diversifies the examples and develops the main task. This encourages questions and discussions.
The workshop convinced me that it's worth exploring the field of data science, getting interested in Kaggle and importantly, unattainable if you dedicate your time to it. They motivated me to further my development and thus change my job :) I now work as a data engineer in the business intelligence department of General Electric.
I recommend it to anyone who is interested in data science and wants to practically work on a problem. If you like asking questions and looking for answers, I highly recommend it.
