Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner (CAIP)

Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become essential parts of the toolset for many organizations. When used effectively, these tools provide actionable insights that drive critical decisions and enable organizations to create exciting, new, and innovative products and services. This Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner™ (CAIP) training course shows you how to apply various approaches and algorithms to solve business problems through AI and ML, all while following a methodical workflow for developing data-driven solutions.

Objectives

At the end of this training course, you will develop AI solutions for business problems. You will:

• Solve a given business problem using AI and ML.
• Prepare data for use in machine learning.
• Train, evaluate, and tune a machine learning model.
• Build linear regression models.
• Build forecasting models.
• Build classification models using logistic regression and k -nearest neighbor.
• Build clustering models.
• Build classification and regression models using decision trees and random forests.
• Build classification and regression models using support-vector machines (SVMs).
• Build artificial neural networks for deep learning.
• Put machine learning models into operation using automated processes.
• Maintain machine learning pipelines and models while they are in production.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

The skills covered in this Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner training course converge on four areas—software development, IT operations, applied math and statistics, and business analysis. Target participants for this course should be looking to build upon their knowledge of the data science process so that they can apply AI systems, particularly machine learning models, to business problems. So, the target participant is likely a data science practitioner, software developer, or business analyst looking to expand their knowledge of machine learning algorithms and how they can help create intelligent decision-making products that bring value to the business.
