Industry-approved curriculum to support your journey into data science
Introduction to Machine Learning - 3 weeks
This course introduces the fundamentals of AI and machine learning, covering core concepts like statistical learning theory and supervised learning. You'll explore models such as logistic regression, decision trees, and support vector machines, and learn to evaluate them using metrics like ROC AUCs. The course concludes with a project where you'll select and deploy the ideal model for a specific task, demonstrating your mastery of the data science pipeline.
What you'll learn:
Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn - 3 weeks
This course covers both supervised and unsupervised machine learning models. You'll learn about distance metrics and k-Nearest Neighbors for classification, recommender systems using SVD, clustering techniques like k-means, and dimensionality reduction with PCA. The course concludes with a project where you'll build and demonstrate both a supervised (k-Nearest Neighbors) and an unsupervised (k-means) learning model, showcasing your skills in classification and clustering tasks.
What you'll learn:
Natural Language Processing, Time Series & Neural Networks - 3 weeks
This course teaches skills to build advanced models, focusing on natural language processing (NLP) with techniques like text classification and vectorization, time series analysis for managing and visualizing trends, and neural networks using Keras. The course culminates in a project where you'll build and showcase three models: a language model, a time series model, and a basic neural network.
What you'll learn:
Neural Networks & Similar Models - 3 weeks
This course builds on neural network fundamentals, teaching optimization techniques like normalization and regularization. You'll explore Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for image classification, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for forecasting and sequence data, and advanced models like transformers and BERT. The course concludes with a project where you'll demonstrate your expertise by building an advanced neural network application.
What you'll learn:
