AI Foundations / 7 weeks
Applied Machine Learning
Teaches practitioners how to frame a prediction problem, pick a model family, evaluate honestly, and decide when a model is good enough to ship.
Learning path
Six modules with practical application.
- Turning a business question into a prediction problem, defining the target, unit of analysis, and decision the model will support
- Building training, validation, and test sets that reflect reality, with labels that are correct, complete, and faithful to the task
- Linear models, trees, ensembles, neural networks, and which family fits which kind of problem, dataset size, and interpretability need
- Picking the right metric for the decision, building a credible baseline, and reading precision, recall, calibration, and segment performance honestly
- Inspecting where the model fails, why it fails, and what to fix in data, features, or model choice before another training round
- Deciding when a model is good enough, picking the threshold, defining the human review path, and what to monitor after launch
