Creation of machine learning pipelines, validation of models, optimization of specified metrics and interpretation of the result.

Referral Profession: Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Researcher in Data Science

Implementation of algorithms into commercial operation
Writing efficient, fault-tolerant, high-loaded code, implementing the model in business processes and industrial operation.

Referral Profession: DevOps / MLOps, ML Engineer

For whom the program is suitable

A graduate of a university

entering immediately after completing a bachelor's degree (continuing education)

IT-specialist

enrollee to improve his or her proficiency in machine learning

A specialist from another field

entering for a successful start in a ML career
