3231 - Imbalanced Data & Anomaly Detection

Issued by GAIn® - The Global AI network

We often face the problem of looking for a needle in a haystack of data. This two-day badge will equip you with two 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. Concluding with an analytical task applying these skills to detect anomalies in a real-life case.
