About the Course

In this first course of the AI Product Management Specialization offered by Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering, you will build a foundational understanding of what machine learning is, how it works and when and why it is applied. To successfully manage an AI team or product and work collaboratively with data scientists, software engineers, and customers you need to understand the basics of machine learning technology. This course provides a non-coding introduction to machine learning, with focus on the process of developing models, ML model evaluation and interpretation, and the intuition behind common ML and deep learning algorithms. The course will conclude with a hands-on project in which you will have a chance to train and optimize a machine learning model on a simple real-world problem. At the conclusion of this course, you should be able to: 1) Explain how machine learning works and the types of machine learning 2) Describe the challenges of modeling and strategies to overcome them 3) Identify the primary algorithms used for common ML tasks and their use cases 4) Explain deep learning and its strengths and challenges relative to other forms of machine learning 5) Implement best practices in evaluating and interpreting ML models...

A lot of good content, but not a great presentation/organization making it hard to be engaging. Especially for working professionals, the presenter's energy level does not motivate them to keep going. You are better off doing a proper AI/ML course instead.

It is a good introduction into machine learning concepts that finds the right balance between required depth and and time efficient knowledge transfer.

As the title indicates, it is a good introduction on management level and is not suited to train data scientists.

A negative point: The instructor speaks incredibly slow and is rather unenthusiastic. However putting the speed on 1.5-2 times fixes this.

This is a really good course that provides a solid overview of machine learning and some of the primary methods for doing so. As a product manager, I would say there should be a little less math in the lectures because it distracts from the essence of what you are trying to teach. Overall, a very good course.

Excellent introduction to product management for machine learning. It covers the basics so you can understand the language and terminology of machine learning. Final project wasn't very relatable to the content but was useful in helping design a basic regression model which is just a heuristic model and truly a machine learning model. All in all it was well worth the time and effort and you do learn a lot if you are new to machine learning applications and projects.

Excellent course material ,well-structured course work and detailed instructions. Explaining detailed algorithms was really helpful in understanding the core concepts.

Additional information on industry best practices and case studies with industry experts would be more helpful as the course evolves in the coming days.Nice work and thank you!

I love the way the course is structured. Jon Reifschneider allows you to view and download the slides before diving into the videos. He explains the content thoroughly and supports his explainations with charts and diagrams which I personally find very helpful. I'm so glad I took the time to complete this course.

Excellent course! Very well explained and summarized the key concepts. Enjoyed learning every bit. The subject matter was thorough and the project at the end put it all together. I may come back to this to keep my skills fresh. For now on to the next course in this specialization.

I rarely leave comments but this is legit one of the best courses I've taken on Coursera. It's clear enough to be accessible to beginners yet offers sufficient information to allow more-intermediate learners take assignments further. Really good, for real.
