Python data products are powering the AI revolution. Top companies like Google, Facebook, and Netflix use predictive analytics to improve the products and services we use every day. Take your Python skills to the next level and learn to make accurate predictions with data-driven systems and deploy machine learning models with this four-course Specialization from UC San Diego.

This Specialization is for learners who are proficient with the basics of Python. You’ll start by creating your first data strategy. You’ll also develop statistical models, devise data-driven workflows, and learn to make meaningful predictions for a wide-range of business and research purposes. Finally, you’ll use design thinking methodology and data science techniques to extract insights from a wide range of data sources. This is your chance to master one of the technology industry’s most in-demand skills.

Python Data Products for Predictive Analytics is taught by Professor Ilkay Altintas, Ph.D. and Julian McAuley. Dr. Alintas is a prominent figure in the data science community and the designer of the highly-popular Big Data Specialization on Coursera. She has helped educate hundreds of thousands of learners on how to unlock value from massive datasets.

What's inside

Four courses

Basic Data Processing and Visualization

This introductory course in Python Data Products for Predictive Analytics covers the fundamentals of reading and manipulating datasets in Python. You will learn about data products and use Python libraries for data retrieval, processing, and visualization. This course prepares you for the next three courses in the Specialization: Design Thinking and Predictive Analytics for Data Products, Meaningful Predictive Modeling, and Deploying Machine Learning Models.

Design Thinking and Predictive Analytics for Data Products

This course introduces the basics of designing predictive models in Python. You will understand the fundamental concepts of statistical learning and learn various methods of building predictive models. At each step in the specialization, you will gain hands-on experience in data manipulation and building your skills.

Meaningful Predictive Modeling

This course helps us evaluate and compare models developed in previous courses. We have developed techniques for regression and classification, but how low should a classifier's error be before we decide it's "good enough"? Or how do we decide which of two regression algorithms is better?

Deploying Machine Learning Models

In this course, we will learn about Recommender Systems and deployment issues for data products. By the end, you should be able to implement a working recommender system and understand the tools and techniques required to deploy such a system on real-world, large-scale datasets.

Learning objectives

  • Discover how to transform data and make it suitable for data-driven predictive tasks
  • Understand how to compute basic statistics using real-world datasets of consumer activities, like product reviews and more
  • Use python to create interactive data visualizations to make meaningful predictions and build simple demo systems
  • Perform simple regressions and classifications on datasets using machine learning libraries
