Gain the technical skills you need to succeed in a career in AI
The course develops your machine learning knowledge and skills in order to define and execute a machine learning project that supports an organization’s business priorities.
What you learn in this course will take you from the brainstorming phase of a business idea to the identification of the right data and the execution and evaluation of the right model. We will accomplish this with multiple model implementations that culminate in the delivery of your group’s course project.
You’ll graduate from the course with:
A foundational, science-based understanding of machine learning;
The skills to confidently create a business case for an ML project at your company;
The ability to undertake an ML project or apply for a job with AI/ML requirements;
Experience with all stages of a machine learning project.
