AI for Scientific Research

In the AI for Scientific Research specialization, we'll learn how to use AI in scientific situations to discover trends and patterns within datasets. Course 1 teaches a little bit about the Python language as it relates to data science. We'll share some existing libraries to help analyze your datasets. By the end of the course, you'll apply a classification model to predict the presence or absence of heart disease from a patient's health data. Course 2 covers the complete machine learning pipeline, from reading in, cleaning, and transforming data to running basic and advanced machine learning algorithms.In the final project, we'll apply our skills to compare different machine learning models in Python. In Course 3, we will build on our knowledge of basic models and explore more advanced AI techniques. We’ll describe the differences between the two techniques and explore how they differ. Then, we’ll complete a project predicting similarity between health patients using random forests. In Course 4, a capstone project course, we'll compare genome sequences of COVID-19 mutations to identify potential areas a drug therapy can look to target. By the end, you'll be well on your way to discovering ways to combat disease with genome sequencing.

Reviewed Aug 5, 2025

Get you started with the basics. Explanation is great but some topics are only covered by referring you to the documentation. Lab solutions helped fill knowledge gaps not covered in lectures.

I would have had more stars, but a couple of the programming assignments had different values for random used for the answer and not what was listed in the question.

AG

Good introduction. A bit too short for a 4-week course. The autograder is not very good, and some solutions are wrong.

DH

Reviewed Apr 4, 2022

The topic is great, and the linkage and references provided are valuable.The hands-on quiz should be supported with better instructions and descriptions regarding what to do.
