Course Overview

  • Machine Learning is an exciting sub-area of Artificial Intelligence dealing with designing systems which can learn and improve their performance from experience.

  • Machine Learning plays a key role in a wide range of critical applications, such as data mining, natural language processing, image recognition, and expert systems. Machine Learning has introduced superior solutions in many domains and is set to be a strong pillar of future technology.

  • This course introduces the learner to the key algorithms and theory that forms the core of Machine Learning. The course covers the major approaches to learning namely, supervised, and unsupervised. The assignments in the course are using Python as the programming language.

  • The course starts with building the fundamentals – various algorithms (linear, quadratic, logarithmic, neural networks etc. It covers the learning and error functions like gradient descent, maximum likelihood etc. Using these it builds on various techniques used in Machine Learning like Regression, Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks, Bayesian Learning, Genetic Algorithms etc.

  • The course requires learners to have a good knowledge of Mathematics, Statistics and Programming.

  • This 6 Weeks Course runs for approx. 35 Hours, comprising of Instructor-Led Live Online Sessions, Hands-on Assignments & Assessments.

  • The Live Instructor Led sessions are conducted on weekends for the benefit of working professionals. The practical assignments can be done by learners as per their convenience and submitted before the specified deadline. Refer to Session Plan below

  • The course fee is INR 35,000(incl. 18% tax) to be paid in full before the last date of registration.

Course Objectives

Following are the key objectives of this course:

  • To introduce learners to the basic concepts and techniques of Machine Learning.

  • To gain experience of doing independent study and research.

  • To develop skills of using Python for solving practical problems.

Platform and Tools

The technology used enables interactive and practical sessions.

  • Live Instructor Led sessions are conducted using Microsoft Teams Communication and Collaboration Platform. Learners will need to attend the live sessions from their laptops through Microsoft Teams. No MS Teams license required by Learners.

  • Online Assessments are hosted on Thinkific, a cloud based Learning Management Tool . The access to Thinkific Acadepro site will be available to registered Learners from the beginning of the course till 9 months after course completion

  • Hands-On Assignments would be done by learners on their own laptops on Anaconda platform using Python. Instructions to install and use the platform would be provided upon registration.
