About this course

This course is divided into two practice levels. Each level covers more advanced topics and builds up on top of the concepts, practice, and skills addressed in the previous practice levels.

Level 1 — Data modeling and machine learning

Advanced data analytics through the adoption of Machine Learning.

  1. 1. Data modeling*
  2. 2. Machine learning algorithms*

Level 2 — AI data science automation

Automate the data model management process using advanced AI tools.

  1. 1. Predict fraud using AutoAI(interactive case study)
  2. 2. Fraud detection using Visual Recognition(interactive case study)

*Depending on your current level of expertise, a thorough understanding of these concepts may require additional self-study on advanced statistical methods and algorithms
