There are 2 modules in this course
In this foundational module, learners will explore the critical importance of robust and reproducible data workflows in the management of production AI systems. They will delve into the reasons why professional-grade pipelines are essential, transitioning from a conceptual understanding to the practical creation of a feature engineering pipeline using scikit-learn. Through a blend of engaging dialogues, targeted readings, and instructional videos, learners will identify key components of effective pipelines, adhere to best practices in data transformation, and apply these insights to a realistic scenario: predicting customer churn. By the end of the module, participants will be equipped to construct a comprehensive pipeline that enhances model reliability and facilitates effective collaboration between experimentation and production environments.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
