With the advent of a new digital era, businesses are facing increasingly challenging and complex problems. Smart organisations that can successfully leverage value from their data gain unparalleled competitive advantages – with machine learning widely used across many industries, such as financial services, healthcare and telecommunications.
Co-designed by renowned academics and industry partners from the UTS Master of Data Science and Innovation program, and delivered by one of the industry’s leading experts, Anthony So, this interactive course will teach you how to design and implement innovative machine learning solutions to solve complex real-world problems.
You will learn essential machine learning techniques in depth, such as regression, classification, and clustering. Featuring a uniquely transdisciplinary approach to learning, this microcredential will also introduce you to agile project management, entrepreneurship and data citizenship that will prepare you to tackle complex problems in the future, providing transferrable skills across a broad range of industries, sectors and organisations.
This dynamic, innovative approach, combined with hands-on learning and practice will help you to become well versed in implementing, optimising and maintaining machine learning solutions that can disrupt industries and change people’s lives for the better.
Whether you’re keen to unlock new career opportunities or help your organisation develop more strategic, innovative initiatives, this microcredential will help you master the latest thinking and best industry practices in data science and become an invaluable contributor in whatever field you work in.
This microcredential aligns with the 4 credit point subject, Applied Data Science for Innovation (36113) in the Master of Data Science and Innovation. This microcredential may qualify for recognition of prior learning at this and other institutions.
This microcredential is suitable for anyone interested in learning more about machine learning, such as:
Anthony explains the concept and intuition behind all algorithms very well and clearly. The weekly assignments are well paced, and gradually lead me to more and more advanced areas. The detailed and constructive feedback is tailored to me and my progress, which is something that other online classes I’ve done could not provide. I highly recommend this course to people who would like to get into ML field with none or little prior knowledge.
