We got some prizes for the competition!

AWS gave us $400 in vouchers which we want to distribute among the participants in the top of the leaderboard.

You have about 10 days to still take part!

We also extended the deadlines for the competition and articles. Have fun!

Hi everyone!

We're extending the deadline for capstone 2 by one week. Enjoy learning!

How is it going?

How is it going with your projects?

Have you selected a dataset? This is usually the most difficult part, so let us know in Slack if you have problems with that - and we'll be happy to help.

Also, don't overthink it. You can take any dataset as long as it's not one of the most common ones (like iris, titanic or boston housing)

Happy learning!

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow you're starting to work on your midterm projects

Here's more information about it: https://github.com/DataTalksClub/machine-learning-zoomcamp/blob/master/projects/README.md

You need to

- Find a dataset
- Train a model on this dataset
- Deploy this model

If you have questions, you find the answers in the office hours videos from the previous edition (linked in the README document above)

If you can't find the answer to your question, please ask in Slack.

Happy learning!

We're starting module 6 today and will learn about tree based models

Happy learning!

You also have a few days to wrap up homework 5. We will close the form on Thursday morning

If you have problems downloading the dataset for homeworks 4 and 5, here's a copy:

In roughly one month we will start the deep learning module. We will need access to a GPU machine

This year we again partnered with Saturn Cloud, who will be able to provide us with remote notebooks with GPUs.

If you want to use their offer, fill in this form: https://zoomcamp.internal.saturnenterprise.io/

(we will share this link again when the module starts)
