This course is intended as a continuation of Data Science I. This course takes a deep dive into machine learning models, natural language processing, and time series in Python.



Introducing the principles and techniques behind time series analysis, equipping students to predict future trends in time-dependent datasets.
Exploring sophisticated regression models such as random forests, preparing students to predict both categorical and numerical data outcomes.
Understanding the power of clustering, dimension analysis and reduction techniques for certain business problems and improving predictive model performance.
An introduction into neural networks for supervised and unsupervised applications, and an overview of different architectures, their applications and their limitations.
It’s not all about model tuning – experimenting with intuition-driven feature engineering techniques to maximize model performance.
Cultivating a sense of responsibility in students to assess and understand potential negative ramifications when implementing model predictions in real-world scenarios.
This course is delivered online through an institution of the Lower Cost Models Consortium (LCMC) that is different than your degree-granting institution that awards the academic credit for the course.
