The Paradigm Shift

We’ll begin studying machine learning and artificial intelligence. You’ll develop an understanding of their potential and the language to talk about AI and ML with your team, and build your first model!

The Math Behind The Magic

This lesson will take a deeper dive into AI and ML techniques using a data-first perspective. We’ll also explore the mathematical underpinnings of how ML models learn.

Architectures of AI Systems

This lesson focuses on capabilities and architectures commonly used in ML/AI systems, and develops student skills with building these architectures, including the data, capabilities, and user layers.

Working with Data

Machine Learning is a data-hungry process. In this lesson, we’ll talk about some of the more operational elements of building ML and AI systems, namely data labeling and infrastructure management.

Accuracy, Bias, and Ethics

What does it mean for a model to be useful? In this lesson, we’ll explore topics like accuracy and precision as well as model overfit and underfit, to figure out ways to assess a model’s usefulness.

Gathering Feedback

Building support for an AI/Machine Learning project is an important part of the journey. We’ll talk about best practices for clearly understanding the priorities of your business and communicating how AI/ML can help to advance them.

Thinking Bigger

Many times, progress with ML/AI requires a business to execute several projects in parallel. In this lesson, we’ll talk about how to bring use cases together to form a greater whole.

Delivering an ML/AI Strategy

In this project, you will apply all the skills you’ve learned in the lessons to develop a strategic ML/AI roadmap. You may choose to work on your own business, or in a fictitious context we provide.
