Course Description

This course provides a broad and unbiased overview of the AI & machine learning landscape, from the introductory building blocks to more state-of-the-art approaches, with an overall lean towards uses in the manufacturing domain.

Artificial intelligence refers to the processes and algorithms that can simulate human intelligence, including mimicking cognitive functions such as perception, learning and problem-solving. Machine Learning is a subset of AI, where we build a model based on sample data, to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so.

In its application across business problems, ML has used cases such as demand forecasting, supply chain and predictive maintenance that can be discussed in the course. 

Target Audience

Introductory, for people with no or little previous data analytics knowledge. Managers who want to learn the language and tools of Machine Learning in the context of AI.

Learning Objectives 

The objective of the course is to give an overview of what ML is and what it can do, not actually how to build algorithms.

Learn the most important steps and implementation concepts for the realisation of AI & machine learning projects.

There will be one or two Jupyter notebooks to show the learner what a machine learning algorithm looks like, but no requirements for the learner to work with them.
