Online Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Data Science Certificate
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Data Science
The demand for workers with artificial intelligence and machine learning skills is far outpacing the supply. Drexel University’s online Graduate Certificate in Applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Data Science aims to fill that gap. These online AI courses prepare you with foundational skills that help you succeed in the field. This certificate provides the quantitative foundation, data analysis and interpretation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning necessary for in-demand positions in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
What is the Difference Between Data Science and Machine Learning?
Drexel’s online graduate program in AI and machine learning focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science, where applications of predictive modeling can help make sense of enormous amounts of data. While data science and machine learning overlap in many ways, there are a few key differences between the two. Data science is primarily concerned with the data itself, organizing and analyzing it to help businesses make decisions. Machine learning focuses on programming machines to properly learn from and use the data collected. A machine learning engineer looks at the models created by data scientists and produces that model.
