Seek guidance on using new datasets

Course Q&A Machine Learning Specialization Supervised ML: Regression and Classification

course 1: Could anyone suggest what new datasets I could work on after completing the first course ?

Hi @computer_en,

You can try some datasets from UCI Machine Learning Repository. For example, Heart Disease Dataset or Energy Efficiency Dataset might be interesting to practice the concepts from Course 1.

Congratulations on completing Course 1 of the Machine Learning Specialization! Here are a few datasets you might consider:

Regression Datasets:

  1. California Housing Prices

    • Available in scikit-learn (sklearn.datasets.fetch_california_housing).
    • Predict housing prices based on features like population, income, and housing characteristics.

  2. Kaggle: House Prices - Advanced Regression Techniques

    • Link
    • A classic problem for regression with diverse features including categorical data.

Classification Datasets:

  1. Iris Dataset

    • A small, well-labeled dataset for multi-class classification (sklearn.datasets.load_iris).

  2. Titanic Dataset

    • Link
    • Predict survival rates based on passenger features.

  3. MNIST Handwritten Digits

    • Available in many libraries like TensorFlow or scikit-learn.
    • Good for practicing classification on image data.

  4. Breast Cancer Wisconsin Dataset

    • Link
    • Predict whether a tumor is malignant or benign based on features like size and texture.

Mixed (Regression and Classification):

  1. Kaggle: Bike Sharing Demand

    • Link
    • Predict the number of bike rentals (regression) or classify high/low demand periods (classification).

  2. Airbnb Listing Prices

    • Many variations are available on Kaggle.
    • Predict rental prices or classify listings into different price tiers.
