This advanced course focuses on best practices, pipeline, automation, advanced algorithms so that students are prepared for challenging and complicated ML problems. It guided me through thinking deeply into why and when to use all available tools and algorithms, and how to explain and convince stakeholders that the decision is completely data driven.

I highly recommend this course to people who have a passion for ML or want to do ML in the right way.
