Introduction

Machine learning is expected to have a critical impact on the accounting discipline. Current and future accountants must keep abreast themselves with this technology. Accountants must be able to harness the potential of machine learning to leverage accounting data and solve accounting problems. 

This course, Applied Machine Learning with Python for Accountants, starts with machine learning concepts, introduces machine learning algorithms (models) and their applications in accounting domains. The course covers common machine learning algorithms such as regression, classification and clustering. Participants will have hands-on experience using Python to apply proper machine learning models on the accounting domain.
 

Programme Objective

The objective of this course is to help participants to understand machine learning algorithms (i.e., regression, classification, and clustering and how these algorithms can be applied in the accounting domain. Once participants fully understood the concept, the course will guide participants to apply the concept using Machine Learning application.
