Data Science and Machine Learning: Making Data-Driven Decisions

Delivered by Great Learning with MIT's stamp. I am rather unconvinced they can pack all of this in 10 (actually 9) weeks. They boast 30 hours of recorded lectures.

I had to put my email and phone number (!) in to get a brochure.

They claim you'll complete "a portfolio of 3 real-life projects and 15+ case studies"

• First 2 weeks are an intro to Python and statistics.
• Week 3 is half on K-Means Clustering, and half on Eigenvectors, PCA, Spectral and Modularity Clustering.
• Week 4 is linear and logistic regression, validation and cross-validation, lasso/ridge regularization and regression trees, Random Forest, and boosted Random Forests
• Week 5 is model evaluation (precision, recall, F1 score), logistic and probit regression, hypothesis testing, SVMs and perceptrons (which are part of neural networks.)
• Week 6 is Deep Learning (artificial intelligence) for image classification
• Week 7 is a break week.
• Week 8 is recommendation systems using collaborative filtering
• Week 9 is graphical models using Kalman filtering (something I'm not familiar with)
• Week 10 is case studies and additional stuff on deep learning.

Cost is $1700.

 

That would be an amazing program, FT with 30 hours a week dedication. With 3 hours of weekly lecture per topic… mad props if they’ve pulled it off.

 

After putting in my info to download the brochure I got an immediate email from "my advisor" to learn more eligibility eligibility a phone call and second email 4 hours later when they couldn't couldn't me. Very pushy.
