Machine Learning in Python with scikit-learn

Aims

The objective of the course is to initiate young life-science scientists to the bases of machine learning, and how to use it in Python with the scikit-learn package.

Organisation

The course will include eleven classes (two or three per week), each two-hours long, over a period of five weeks, in May-June 2026. A large part of each class will be devoted to practical coding exercises. A few hours of homework per week are further needed.

Assessment

• The participants will be regularly asked to explain their code during the classes.
• Coding exercises will be proposed over the duration of the course.
• The course will be assessed through attendance and solutions to exercises to be posted via the Moodle page of the course.
