Machine Learning Modeling With Foundation Models & AI Tools

About This Course

Artificial intelligence and machine learning come with huge benefits — and pitfalls. Tasks that once required specialized skills, large teams, complex workflows and deep algorithmic tuning can now be accelerated, automated or simulated using AI/ML tools. But the more accessible these tools become, the more important it is to know how to apply rigorous statistical methods and engineering standards to build models with integrity. 

In this course, you’ll learn to harness the power of AI to quickly build machine learning models that meet best practices in data science. First, you’ll build a traditional model from scratch, applying AI tools at every step to automate ML workflows and speed your work. Then, you’ll build a native AI application over a foundation model, giving you the real-world experience to develop AI capabilities at any organization.

Designed For

Software engineers and Python programmers who want to use AI-powered technologies for rapid ML modeling.
