Detect AI Anomalies: Real-Time Outliers is an intermediate course for MLOps engineers and data scientists tasked with ensuring AI systems are reliable in production. Static alerts fail when data is dynamic, leaving systems vulnerable to silent failures. This course teaches you to build an intelligent early warning system that catches critical issues before they escalate.

There are 2 modules in this course
This module lays the foundation for real-time monitoring by focusing on statistical methods. The learners will learn why static thresholds are insufficient for dynamic systems and how to implement robust techniques like Z-score and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) to detect significant outliers in continuous data streams. The module culminates in building a functional, off-platform monitoring script that can flag anomalies as they happen.

This module moves beyond simple statistical alerts to address complex, multi-dimensional anomalies. Learners will learn to use unsupervised models like Isolation Forest to detect subtle irregularities and, most importantly, to analyze the context surrounding an alert to differentiate a true, critical anomaly from benign data drift. The goal is to build intelligent monitoring systems that reduce false alarms and allow teams to focus on what matters.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
