To attend a training course, you must be registered for a Platinum or Training pass; does not include access to tutorials on Tuesday.

Acquiring machine learning (ML) technology is relatively straightforward, but ML must be applied to be useful. In this one-day boot camp that is equal parts hackathon, presentation, and group participation, Jerry Overton, Ashim Bose, and Samir Sehovic teach you how to apply advanced analytics in ways that reshape the enterprise and improve outcomes.

What you'll learn, and how you can apply it

Participants will understand (all at a high overview level)…

  • How to use data science to transform the business in small, meaningful chunks
  • How to power data science experiments using the data you already have
  • How to build Agile data science experiments
  • How to build an industrialized data science infrastructure

Participants will be able to…

  • Lead an ML-driven transformation
  • Design, build, and deploy data science pipelines
  • Build, train, and test a machine learning algorithm
  • Design, build, and manage an industrialized ML infrastructure

This training is for you because...

  • You're an analytics leader with machine learning experience, and you want to learn to build useful data science systems.
  • You're a business leader with industry expertise, and you want to use data science to transform the business.
  • You're an IT leader with data engineering experience, and you want to learn how to support industrialized data science systems.

Prerequisites:

  • Familiarity with R or Python
  • Basic knowledge of machine learning algorithms, data ingestion, infrastructure, analytics, and visualization technologies
  • Real-world experience in an industry

I’m not a software developer. I’ve taken a couple short Coursera classes on Python but my programming experience is very limited. Is this bootcamp worth it for me, or would I be left in the dust?
