INDUSTRIAL MACHINE LEARNING
EMELI DRAL
The module covers topics related to industrial applications of machine learning. Nowadays machine learning technologies are widely used in practice in various applied fields such as retail, mass media, PR and marketing, banking, telecommunications, manufacturing, science and many others. Using relevant techniques in each project is very important, but often selecting a particular machine learning algorithm does not play a key role. Frequently the most important factors include relevant problem statements in terms of business goals, correct mathematical formalisation of the problem, precise estimation of the potential economic effect, criteria and metrics of decision quality estimation, among others.
In the course, we will learn the structure and the lifecycle of the machine learning project and cover topics ranging from the problem statement to final quality assessment, as well as estimation of the economic effect.
Emeli Dral is a Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Evidently AI, a startup developing tools to analyse and monitor the performance of machine learning models.
Prior to that, she co-founded a startup focused on the application of machine learning in the industrial sector, and served as the Chief Data Scientist at Yandex Data Factory. She led a team of accomplished data scientists and oversaw the development of machine learning solutions for various industries - from banking to manufacturing. Emeli is a lecturer at the Yandex School of Data Analysis and Harbour.Space University, where she teaches courses on machine learning and data analysis tools. In addition, she is a co-author of the Machine Learning and Data Analysis curriculum at Coursera. In 2017, she co-founded Data Mining in Action, the largest open data science course in Russia with over 500 students in each batch.
After completing this course, a student will be able to:
- Identify cases where machine learning techniques should be applied
- Apply machine learning algorithms and techniques to real world applications
- Formulate problem statement and quality criteria
- Estimate potential economic effect of the machine learning models
SKILLS:
-Data Science
-Machine Learning
