Up-to-date documentation

The program focuses on various applications of data science and artificial intelligence. You will learn how to build artificial intelligence systems using state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms.

The program is for software developers and engineers, mathematicians, and computer science specialists, who want to move to the artificial intelligence field. The aim of the program is to develop artificial intelligence systems and put them into production.

The program is devoted to three practical areas:

• Algorithms and methods of machine learning and artificial intelligence, including both classical machine learning and modern deep neural networks.
• Various applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence systems such as computer vision, natural language processing, and time series analysis.
• Development of software for building machine learning and artificial intelligence systems, including Python programming and modern tools for business analysis and applied development.

In addition to theoretical courses, the program includes a project workshop. During the workshop, students are working on real data science and artificial intelligence projects from companies.

• Machine Learning Engineer, who develops artificial intelligence systems.
• Data Engineer, who creates, cleans and curates datasets for machine learning.
• Big Data Engineer, who is able to prepare and process big amounts of data using distributed computing.

Admission Requirements
