What you will learn

Statistical skillsData science knowledgeKnowledge of Python

You will learn the following things after completing the Advanced Certificate Programme in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.

Python: It is a high-level programming language used for rapid application development. Its syntax is simple and easy. So, it helps in low-cost programming maintenance. The easy debugging helps in increased productivity. Data Scientists, Web Developers, and other software professionals love this language because of its easy readability. Nowadays, the usage of Python is not limited to the software industry only. Many other sectors are preferring using python-driven analysis to excel spreadsheets. It is the fastest-growing programming language that is used by both startups and big organisations like Netflix, Google, etc.
Data Analysis: In recent years, companies have become more data-driven than before. Data Analysis is the process of collecting data, analysing it and making predictions on that basis. A decision becomes stronger when data back it. So, the chance of success increases with the usage of data. Companies use data to take different aspects like market research, product research, customer review and many other business decisions. There are multiple phrases like data cleaning, quality analysis, quality measurement in the data analysis process before concluding.
Inferential Statistics: It is highly used in Data Science. Inferential Statistics is the process through which predictions are made beyond the immediate data available. For example, some data are collected from a single store of Reliance in Kolkata about how many love buying Reliance products. Through Inferential Statistics, this data is used to make predictions about how many people from Kolkata enjoy shopping from Reliance. It is an important part of Business Intelligence. Many organisations use Inferential Statistics to explore the pattern within a large amount of data and predict the future trend.
Linear and Logistic Regression: Linear Regression is one of the easiest Machine Learning algorithms that are used to solve regression problems. Linear Regression helps to predict the value of continuous variables. Logistics Regression is another popular Machine Learning algorithm that comes under supervised learning techniques. It is used to solve classification problems. Logistic Regression helps to predict the value of categorical variables. Both of them are used to make predictions from a set of data.
Natural Language Processing: It is the process through which computers learn the language of humans. Natural Language Processing bridges the gap between human communication and the understanding of computers. It is there with us for a long back, and we come to its attachment every day without even realizing it. NLP divides the sentences into smaller parts, understands the meaning of time, and remembers it as a machine-friendly speech. It is an important part of Artificial Intelligence.

You will also learn about many other details of Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing in this course. It will help you to become an expert in this field and have a highly demanding career ahead.
