Welcome to Building a Machine Learning Solution, where you'll journey through the complete lifecycle of a machine learning project. This capstone course covers critical steps from problem definition to deployment and maintenance. You'll learn to define clear problem statements, collect and preprocess data, perform exploratory data analysis (EDA), and engineer features to enhance model performance. The course guides you in selecting and implementing appropriate models, comparing classical machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI approaches. Emphasizing real-world considerations, you'll address scalability, interpretability, and ethical implications. You'll gain hands-on experience with tools like scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and more, ensuring you can deploy and monitor models effectively. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to build end-to-end ML solutions that transform data into actionable insights, making informed decisions at each stage of development.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
