Certificate programs in AI and ML, and Data Science to
launch in early 2021
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has
partnered with Coursera, the world’s leading online
learning platform, to launch two new certificate programs -- one
in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML),
and the other one in Data Science --this is part of the
institute’s commitment to making its programs accessible to learners around the
world.
The six-month certificate
program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will
consist of video lectures, hands-on learning opportunities, team projects,
tutorials, and workshops. In addition to providing the coding knowledge and
mathematics necessary for building AI and ML expertise, the program will also
teach classical ML techniques and provide hands-on programming experience with
Tensorflow for model building, robust ML production, and powerful
experimentation.
The certificate program
in Data Science will equip professionals looking to build
skills in data science, machine learning, critical thinking, data collection,
data visualization, and data management. The program will help develop Python
and SQL programming skills necessary for a career in data analytics. It also
builds knowledge on machine learning algorithms such as linear models, kNN,
SVM, Trees, Random forest, and neural networks. The program requires no prior
knowledge of coding in Python, R, or SQL.
With this partnership, IIT
Roorkee joins the ranks of 150 top universities— including Yale,
“Coursera is a leading
online learning platform. We are delighted to partner with Coursera to help
fulfill the goal of inclusive education of the New Education Policy. Further,
this partnership will help us reach out to a global audience of students and professionals
aspiring for quality teaching in these sought-after areas,” said Prof.
Ajit K. Chaturvedi, Director, IIT Roorkee.
