CURRICULUM BACKGROUND


Electricity, the automobile, the Internet, and the mobile phone transformed the 20th century. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) through machine learning (ML), is transforming the 21st century. It is changing how people perceive and interact with technology. It is enabling machines to perform a wider range of tasks. In some cases, machines are already doing a better job than humans. Such examples include voice assistants on our smartphones, product recommendation engines, virtual try-on apps, self-driving cars, real-time stock market trading, applications for social good (combating crime), video games, credit card fraud prevention, spam email filtering, medical disease detection/diagnosis and more. All organizations are investing heavily in AI and machine learning research and applications, especially big companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and Hooli Con (GAFAH).

 

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

​

This is an introductory program requiring no previous knowledge of machine learning. Some computer programming experience will help but is not a prerequisite. We focus on using Python at a high level, mainly via API calls. We also focus on machine learning libraries such as the scikit-learn library as well as PyTorch (a deep learning framework). Through this process, we have worked through all relevant steps to create a successful machine learning application. You will get more out of this course if you are familiar with Python, NumPy, scikit-learn, as well as matplotlib libraries. All of which will be visiting during this program.

​

LEARNING APPROACH

​

This program does not focus too much on math. Instead, it focuses on the practical aspects of using machine learning algorithms used to solve problems such as fraud detection and finding objects in images. This program does not describe how to write machine learning algorithms from scratch. Instead, it will focus on how to use the large array of machine learning techniques already implemented in scikit-learn and PyTorch. The focus is largely on specifying architectures and loss functions in order to solve both AI and data science-type problems.

​

To make this program effective, we will supplement machine learning algorithms and techniques with case studies and problems such as: 

​

  • House price prediction

  • Handwritten character recognition

  • Credit card fraud detection

  • Market segmentation

  • Churn prediction and drivers

  • Customer lifetime value (CLV) prediction

  • Photo classification

  • People Identification

  • Document classification

  • Object detection

​

​

PEDAGOGY

 

The program will be a mix of lectures, hands-on labs, and group research projects. By the end of the program, students will be able to deliver research presentations. They will be able to do so using all the tools they learn during the program. Moreover, they will use knowledge of these tools to write group research papers that will be published as Medium articles.

​
