6 Weeks of Intense Learning!
Data Wrangling (1 week)
Any Data Science and Machine Learning project starts with becoming an expert on the data. We are going to dive into the different techniques to slice and dice the data with Pandas:
- Exploratory Data Analysis
- Advanced Data Manipulation
Data Visualization (0.5 week)
Visualizing the data allows one to uncover unexpected mechanisms and to present results in a more explicitly and transparent manner:
- Data visualization with Matplotlib
- Data visualization with Seaborn
Probability and Statistics (1.5 weeks)
A solid grounding in probability and statistics is essential for interpreting data, building models, and making data-driven decisions:
- Probability Fundamentals
- Descriptive Statistics
- Statistical Inference
Supervised Learning (1 week)
Supervised learning is at the core of 99% of ML projects in the industry. It involves building predictive models with labeled data.
- Regression and Classification models
- Model quality estimation
Unsupervised Learning (1 week)
Unsupervised learning captures concepts like clustering and dimension reduction. It is about discovering patterns and structures in unlabeled data.
- Clustering
- Dimension reduction
Feature Engineering (1 week)
Feature engineering is about preparing the data to train a model. We need to be able to deal with categorical variables and missing values, and we need to extract the right features or create better ones:
- Feature Extraction and Selection
- Encoding Techniques
- Scaling and Normalization
What is included!
- 36 hours of live session with the instructor
- 6 hands-on projects
- Homework support
- Certification upon graduation
- Access to our online community
- Lifetime access to course content
Schedule
From January 22nd to February 27th, we will meet every Wednesday and Thursday between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. PST.
Who is this BootCamp for?
This Bootcamp is meant for engineers, data analysts, or students who want to pivot toward a data science career or who want to take the first step into the world of machine learning!
Be ready to learn!
This Bootcamp is not meant to be easy! Be ready to spend time and effort in learning the subject so that the certificate means something.
I won't promise you that you will get a job after graduating (because it depends on you), but I can promise you that your data science and machine learning skills will be at a completely different level!
When designing this course, my goal was to provide the practical set of tools and knowledge to enable beginners to start working on data science projects!
I favor a hands-on approach where students have the opportunity to solve difficult problems close to the ones seen on the job. I want to prepare the students to actually be performant on the job.
Prerequisites
- Proficiency in Python - at least 6 months experience.
- Comfortable with mathematical notation - at least 1st year college level in mathematics.
Meet Damien
Welcome, my name is Damien Benveniste! After a Ph.D. in theoretical Physics, I started my career in Machine Learning and Data Science more than 10 years ago.
I have been a Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, and Software Engineer. I have led various Machine Learning projects in diverse industry sectors such as AdTech, Market Research, Financial Advising, Cloud Management, online retail, marketing, credit score modeling, data storage, healthcare, and energy valuation. Recently, I was a Machine Learning Tech Lead at Meta on the automation at scale of model optimization for Ads ranking.
I am now focusing on a more entrepreneurial journey where I build tech businesses and teach my expertise.
