Course overview
Develop your production level ML Solutions
Upon completing this course, students will undergo a transformation in their understanding of machine learning with a focus on production and LLMs. They will gain practical skills in building and deploying machine learning models in a production environment.
Additionally, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end machine learning pipeline, allowing them to construct and deploy robust and effective models in real-world settings using Large Language Models. Overall, students will emerge with greater confidence in their abilities to tackle practical machine learning problems and deliver results in production.
Class begins in the last week of April
This cohort will be capped at 20 students to ensure quality and personalized learning.
Each student will also get dedicated coaching through out the course.
