Predictive Artificial Intelligence
Expand your skill set and help your organization make data-informed predictions.
Master the practical use of predictive AI to solve real business problems. This hands-on course guides you through the full analytics workflow—from data collection and preparation to building, training, and deploying predictive analytical models. Explore key techniques like feature engineering, regression, and classification through real-world cases such as credit card fraud detection. Learn to communicate results clearly, build stakeholder trust, and lead impactful, data-driven initiatives in your organization.

Throughout this course, you will
- Define and deploy predictive AI with diverse data types, while assembling skilled teams to develop models that address real-world challenges.
- Set KPIs to drive predictive AI initiatives and align them with business objectives. Additionally, develop a detailed predictive AI requirements document.
- Utilize prediction engineering techniques to build models and extract data for practical use, while working with tools like FeatureTools and Pandas.
- Transform raw data into features to enhance model accuracy using both automated and manual engineering methods, and master Featuretools to simplify the process.
- Use supervised learning methods and hyperparameters to build predictive models. Assess model accuracy and interpret results with scikit-learn, XGBoost, and Pyreal.
- Master data anomaly detection and apply it across sectors with unsupervised learning methods. Leverage tools like Orion to enhance model accuracy and efficiency.
- Evaluate and analyze AI models considering time, personnel and costs. Additionally, track deployment progress using tools such as SHAP and Pyreal.
- Assemble teams of data experts, stakeholders, and other roles to collaborate on predictive AI projects. Use data assessments, success metrics, and scaling tools.

This course is aimed at
- Mid-Level to Senior Professionals in roles like data science, analytics, business intelligence, product innovation, and technology leadership/consulting across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, tech and manufacturing.
- Tech leaders, Data Engineers, and Analysts seeking to upskill or pivot into AI-driven roles.
