ML Foundations
What is ML, supervised vs. unsupervised vs. reinforcement, training/validation/test splits, the bias-variance tradeoff.
A hands-on AI/ML curriculum covering Python for ML, scikit-learn fundamentals, deep learning with PyTorch, NLP, modern LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic), vector databases, RAG patterns, prompt engineering, and MLOps — delivered by senior US ML engineers building real production AI systems.
Each tool taught with the workflows and failure modes practitioners actually meet on the job.
First half of the curriculum — core fundamentals and the most common day-to-day skills.
