Program in Machine Learning & Applied Data Science
About Course
Turn business data into models that support better, measurable decisions.
This program teaches the full applied data science workflow, from framing a business question to monitoring a model in production. You will analyze data with Python and pandas, explore and visualize it, apply the statistics that machine learning depends on, and build supervised and unsupervised models with scikit-learn. You will also learn to evaluate, tune and explain models honestly, then package and monitor them. All courses are self-paced, use free tools such as Google Colab and JupyterLite, and end with a predictive model built for a real business decision.
Who it is for
Analysts, small-business owners, operations and marketing professionals, and developers who want to use data and machine learning to support decisions in their organizations.
Prerequisites
Basic spreadsheet skills and high-school math are enough to start; MLD102 covers the Python you need.
What you will be able to do
- Frame a business problem as a data science task with clear success metrics
- Clean, explore and visualize data with Python, pandas and matplotlib
- Build, evaluate, tune and explain regression, classification and clustering models
- Deploy a simple model and monitor its data and performance over time
