An emerging trend in AI is the availability of technologies in which automation is used to select a best-fit model, perform feature engineering and improve model performance via hyperparameter optimization. This automation will provide rapid-prototyping of models and allow the Data Scientist to focus their efforts on applying domain knowledge to fine-tune models. This course will take the learner through the creation of an end-to-end automated pipeline built by Watson Studio’s AutoAI experiment tool, explaining the underlying technology at work as developed by IBM Research. The focus will be on working with an auto-generated Python notebook. Learners will be provided with test data sets for two use cases.

There are 4 modules in this course
In this module, you'll learn about the developing landscape of AutoAI technologies. You'll also become familiar with the Watson Studio platform in order to be able to perform your own AutoAI Experiments. After observing the AutoAI tool build prototypes for two use cases, you will try out the tool for yourself to build additional prototypes.

7 videos14 readings4 assignments
In this module, you will learn about the automated data preparation techniques performed by AutoAI and get a chance to experiment with different settings for data preprocessing in the AutoAI-generated Python notebook. You'll also learn about the procedure for automated model selection and experiment using different models on the datasets.
What's included
9 videos11 readings3 assignments
In this module, you will learn about the algorithm for automated feature engineering and perform some exploratory data analysis to try to understand why the algorithm performed particular feature transformations. You'll also learn about sophisticated methods for optimizing hyperparameters and explore hyperparameter tuning on the datasets using the AutoAI-generated Python notebook.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
