About this Course

Machine learning is not just a single task or even a small group of tasks; it is an entire process, one that practitioners must follow from beginning to end. It is this process—also called a workflow—that enables the organization to get the most useful results out of their machine learning technologies. No matter what form the final product or service takes, leveraging the workflow is key to the success of the business's AI solution. 
This second course within the Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner (CAIP) professional certificate explores each step along the machine learning workflow, from problem formulation all the way to model presentation and deployment. The overall workflow was introduced in the previous course, but now you'll take a deeper dive into each of the important tasks that make up the workflow, including two of the most hands-on tasks: data analysis and model training. You'll also learn about how machine learning tasks can be automated, ensuring that the workflow can recur as needed, like most important business processes.

Ultimately, this course provides a practical framework upon which you'll build many more machine learning models in the remaining courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. 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.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, 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. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
