What you will learn

After applying
Preparation work
Our Data Science course is very demanding and intensive. Therefore, we have put together a preliminary course that specifically prepares you for it. Depending on your previous knowledge, this requires about 1-2 weeks of intensive work.
- Learn about statistics, basic probability, calculus and linear algebra, version control, and Python.
- If needed, our team is on call via Discord to support you.
Week before start
Open session
Meet your fellow students for an evening session the week before the program starts. Review the preparation work and exchange your problems and solutions with the class.
Week 1 - 3
Data Science toolkit
- Learn the tools and programming languages relevant to Data Science.
- Python fundamentals for Data Science, version control (git and GitLab), SQL databases, organizing and structuring data science projects.
- In depth data wrangling in Python (accessing online data through APIs, data cleaning and exploration with Pandas).
- Work with both JupyterLab and integrated development environments.
Week 4 - 5
Statistics & experimental design
- Use statistical methods to assist decision-making using critical methodologies like A/B testing.
- Apply inferential statistics, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing on Data Science problems.
- Learn about probabilistic modeling and generalized linear models and solve real-world problems.
Week 6 - 7
Data visualization
- Use advanced visualization techniques for extracting actionable insights from data and create visually compelling stories.
- Create interactive figures and even full-fledged dashboards leveraging tools like Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly and Dash.
Week 8 - 11
Classical & advanced Machine Learning (ML)
- Build advanced end-to-end machine learning pipelines.
- Gain an in-depth view of supervised learning methods (regression and classification), as well as unsupervised learning methods (clustering, outlier detection, and dimensionality reduction).
- Learn ML core concepts (ex: gradient descent, linear vs non-linear models, loss functions, cross-validation, tuning).
- Solve real-world scenarios including: tackling imbalanced data, selecting suitable models, optimizing model performance using hyperparameter tuning, and model interpretation using frameworks such as LIME and SHAP.
- Learn about the most recent advancements, applications and frameworks for Auto-ML (PyCaret, TPOT and Auto-Sklearn).
Week 12 - 14
Deep Learning
- Learn the theory and history behind neural networks and deep learning.
- Build your own networks using TensorFlow and Keras - Artificial Neural Networks and Convolutional Neural Networks.
- Use deep transfer learning and state-of-the-art Deep Learning models to solve computer vision problems like image classification and segmentation.
- Interpret and explain deep learning models for vision using techniques like Grad-CAM.
Week 15 - 17
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Learn NLP core concepts (e.g.: named entity recognition, topic modeling, document classification, similarity, embeddings, etc.).
- Learn and practice how to transform unstructured text into structured features and train classical ML models.
- Solve diverse problems like classification, recommendation, summarization, named entity recognition, and more.
- Use Deep Learning models and Transfer Learning including Transformers to solve more complex tasks (language translation, contextual similarity, semantic search, and more).
- Learn about Generative AI for NLP, Prompt Engineering and Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to solve diverse NLP tasks including QA Chatbots.
Week 18
Machine Learning Engineering
- Learn how to approach a Data Science project effectively by using conventional workflows and creating a clean project structure.
- Learn about MLOps best practices such as model & data version control, experiment tracking, model and code testing and CI/CD for ML projects.
- Use Docker containerize and serve your model, making it accessible via an API that you will deploy on a cloud server.
Week 19 - 22
Capstone project
- Solve real Data Science problems from our carefully curated list of pre-defined projects or even better, bring your own data and Data Science problem!
- Experience the complete Data Science process: from defining your business problem, exploring the data, applying suitable machine learning techniques, to finally delivering a functional prototype.
- Get coached and present your work in a public meetup.
