Data science and Data preparation with KNIME

Description

Data preparation, data cleaning, data preprocessing (whatever you want to call it) is quite often the most tedious and time-consuming work in the data science/data analysis area. Especially if we are short of time and want to deliver crucial data analysis insights to our audience. KNIME makes the data prep process efficient and easy. With KNIME, you can use the easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, if you are not an experienced coder. But if you know how to work with languages such as R, Python, or Java, you can use them as well. This makes KNIME a truly flexible and versatile tool. In this course, we will learn the efficient ways to import multiple files into KNIME, loops, web scraping, scripting (using Python code in KNIME), hyperparameter optimization, and feature selection. Also, learn basic machine learning workflows and helpful nodes for this in KNIME. By the end of this course, you will be able to use KNIME for data cleaning and data preparation without any code.
