Course Introduction

Machine Learning (ML) is among the most sought after and highly compensated digital
economy skills. In the past decade, AI has given us self-driving cars, practical speech
recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome.
AI is so pervasive that we use it dozens of times a day without even realizing it. Many
researchers also think it is the best way to make progress towards human-level AI.

The modules in this course will expose you to the fundamental aspects of ML and AI so that
you can use it for decision making in day-to-day business.

Course Objectives

● Understand key concepts like Data Analytics, Data Analysis, Data Science, Big Data, ,
Machine Learning and Deep Learning and learn how they are related to one another.
● Applying appropriate analytic techniques and tools to analyze data, create analytical
models, and identify insights that can lead to actionable results
● Selecting appropriate data visualizations to clearly communicate analytic insights to
business sponsors and analytic audiences
● Get an overview of how Machine Learning Pipeline works.
● Gain an understanding of Data Science processes, data wrangling, data exploration,
data visualization, hypothesis building and testing.
● Learn the essential concepts of Python programming and gain working knowledge in
use of Python for data analytics and prediction tasks.
● Understand how data-driven insights with Supervised and UnSupervised Machine
Learning can be used for making effective decisions across domains like Marketing,
Finance, Operations and HR.
● Identify the correct analytics tool for a specific need and find reliable ways to collect,
analyse, visualise, and utilise data for decision-making.
