Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence are making significant headway in the Regtech arena, especially related to AML. As the industry is expected to grow in the upcoming years, adding skills related to AI and ML can prove advantageous for newcomers to the field and those who are already a part of it.
The Emeritus Postgraduate Diploma courses are provided by Columbia Engineering Executive Education in Collaboration with online education provider Emeritus. The Postgraduate Diploma on ML and AI is designed to help understand the fundamentals of AI and ML and how to apply them to solve complex real-world problems.
The course starts on December 10 2020, conducted online over nine months, 6-8 hours per week. There will be a short screening test, and the applicants will be tested on statistics, calculus, linear algebra, and probability. Aspiring participants are also expected to have intermediate knowledge of Python programming language.
There are three modules and the topics covered in each is as below,
Module 1: Applied Machine Learning
Supervised Learning
- Regression Maximum Likelihood, Least Squares, Regularization
- Bayesian Methods Bayes Rule, MAP Inference, Active Learning
- Foundational Classification Algorithms Nearest Neighbors, Perceptron, Logistic Regression
- Refinements to Classification Kernel Methods, Gaussian Process
- Intermediate Classification Algorithms SVM, Trees, Forests and Boosting
Unsupervised Learning
- Clustering Methods K-Means Clustering, E-M, Gaussian Mixtures
- Recommendation Systems Collaborative Filtering, Topic Modeling, PCA
- Sequential Data Models Markov and Hidden Markov Models, Kalman Filters
- Association Analysis
- Clustering Methods – II Model Comparisons, Analysis Considerations
Module 2: Applied Artificial Intelligence
