AI & Machine Learning Foundations
Understand the machine-learning workflow by preparing data, training models, evaluating results, and shipping a focused AI project.
12 weeksPython fundamentals required5 projects
Course overview
Learn the whole workflow, not isolated tricks.
Build a practical foundation in applied machine learning without skipping the reasoning behind the models. You will explore data, prepare features, train baseline models, evaluate tradeoffs, and communicate results responsibly.
What you will be able to do
Clear outcomes you can demonstrate.
Explore, clean, and prepare datasets for a repeatable ML workflow.
Train baseline supervised-learning models and compare performance.
Choose useful evaluation metrics and identify common model risks.
Package findings into a clear, reproducible portfolio project.
Curriculum
A focused path from foundation to final build.
Data preparation
Exploration, missing values, outliers, encoding, scaling, feature selection, and train-test splits.
EDACleaningFeaturesVisualization
Supervised learning
Regression, classification, baseline models, trees, ensembles, and practical model selection.
