This Artificial Intelligence Master's program co-developed with IBM includes over 15 real-life, branded projects in different domains. These projects are designed to help you master the key concepts of Artificial Intelligence like supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, support vector machines, Deep Learning, TensorFlow, neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and recurrent neural networks.
This Master’s Program includes a capstone project allowing you to revisit the concepts learned throughout the courses. You will go through dedicated mentored classes in order to create a high-quality industry project, solving a real-world problem. The capstone project will cover key aspects from exploratory data analysis to model creation and fitting. To complete this capstone project, you will use cutting edge Artificial Intelligence-based supervised and unsupervised algorithms like Regression, Multinomial Naïve Bayes, SVM, Tree-based algorithms, and NLP in the domain of your choice. After successful submission of the project, not only will you be awarded a capstone certificate but you will have a project that can be showcased to potential employers as a testament to your learning.
Project 1: Fare Prediction for Uber
Domain: Delivery (Commerce)
Uber, one of the largest US-based taxi providers, wants to improve the accuracy of fare predicted for any of the trips. Help Uber by building and choosing the right model.
Project 2: Test bench time reduction for Mercedes-Benz
Domain: Automobile
Mercedes-Benz, a global Germany-based automobile manufacturer, wants to reduce the time it spends on the test bench for any car. Faster testing will reduce the time to hit the market. Build and optimize the algorithm by performing dimensionality reduction and various techniques including xgboost to achieve the said objective.
Project 3: Products rating prediction for Amazon
Amazon, one of the leading US-based e-commerce companies, recommends products within the same category to customers based on their activity and reviews on other similar products. Amazon would like to improve this recommendation engine by predicting ratings for the non-rated products and add them to recommendations accordingly.
Domain: E-commerce
Project 4: Demand Forecasting for Walmart
Predict accurate sales for 45 stores of Walmart, one of the leading US-based leading retail stores, considering the impact of promotional markdown events. Check if macroeconomic factors like CPI, unemployment rate, etc. have an impact on sales.
Domain: Sales
Project 5: Improving customer experience for Comcast
Comcast, one of the leading US-based global telecommunication companies wants to improve customer experience by identifying and acting on problem areas that lower customer satisfaction if any. The company is also looking for key recommendations that can be implemented to deliver the best customer experience.
Domain: Telecom
Project 6: Attrition Analysis for IBM
IBM, one of the leading US-based IT companies, would like to identify the factors that influence attrition of employees. Based on the parameters identified, the company would also like to build a logistics regression model that can help predict if an employee will churn or not.
Domain: Workforce Analytics
Project 7: NYC 311 Service Request Analysis
Perform a service request data analysis of New York City 311 calls. You will focus on data wrangling techniques to understand patterns in the data and visualize the major complaint types.
Domain: Telecommunication
Project 8: MovieLens Dataset Analysis
The GroupLens Research Project is a research group in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. The researchers of this group are involved in several research projects in the fields of information filtering, collaborative filtering, and recommender systems. Here, we ask you to perform an analysis using the Exploratory Data Analysis technique for user datasets.
Domain: Engineering
Project 9: Stock Market Data Analysis
As a part of this project, you will import data using Yahoo data reader from the following companies: Yahoo, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. You will perform fundamental analytics, including plotting, closing price, plotting stock trade by volume, performing daily return analysis, and using pair plot to show the correlation between all of the stocks.
Domain: Stock Market
