Data Science & Deep Learning for Business™ 20 Case Studies (Udemy.com)

Welcome to the course on Data Science & Deep Learning for Business™ 20 Case Studies!

This course teaches you how Data Science & Deep Learning can be used to solve real-world business problems and how you can apply these techniques to 20 real-world case studies. 

Traditional Businesses are hiring Data Scientists in droves, and knowledge of how to apply these techniques in solving their problems will prove to be one of the most valuable skills in the next decade!

What student reviews of this course are saying,

"I'm only half way through this course, but i have to say WOW. It's so far, a lot better than my Business Analytics MSc I took at UCL. The content is explained better, it's broken down so simply. Some of the Statistical Theory and ML theory lessons are perhaps the best on the internet! 6 stars out of 5!"

"It is pretty different in format, from others. The appraoch taken here is an end-to-end hands-on project execution, while introducing the concepts. A learner with some prior knowledge will definitely feel at home and get to witness the thought process that happens, while executing a real-time project. The case studies cover most of the domains, that are frequently asked by companies. So it's pretty good and unique, from what i have seen so far. Overall Great learning and great content."

"Data Scientist has become the top job in the US for the last 4 years running!" according to Harvard Business Review & Glassdoor.

However, Data Science has a difficult learning curve - How does one even get started in this industry awash with mystique, confusion, impossible-looking mathematics, and code? Even if you get your feet wet, applying your newfound Data Science knowledge to a real-world problem is even more confusing.

This course seeks to fill all those gaps in knowledge that scare off beginners and simultaneously apply your knowledge of Data Science and Deep Learning to real-world business problems.

This course has a comprehensive syllabus that tackles all the major components of Data Science knowledge.

Our Learning path includes:

1. How Data Science and Solve Many Common Business Problems

2. The Modern Tools of a Data Scientist - Python, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Seaborn, Matplotlib & Plotly (Manipulate Data and Create Information Captivating Visualizations and Plots).

3. Statistics for Data Science in Detail - Sampling, Distributions, Normal Distribution, Descriptive Statistics, Correlation and Covariance, Probability Significance Testing and Hypothesis Testing.

4. Machine Learning Theory - Linear Regressions, Logistic Regressions, Decision Trees, Random Forests, KNN, SVMs, Model Assessment, Outlier Detection, ROC & AUC and Regularization

“Big data is at the foundation of all the megatrends that are happening.”

Businesses NEED Data Scientists more than ever. Those who ignore this trend will be left behind by their competition. In fact, the majority of new Data Science jobs won't be created by traditional tech companies (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.) they're being created by your traditional non-tech businesses. The big retailers, banks, marketing companies, government institutions, insurances, real estate and more.

"Consumer data will be the biggest differentiator in the next two to three years. Whoever unlocks the reams of data and uses it strategically will win.”

With Data Scientist salaries creeping up higher and higher, this course seeks to take you from a beginner and turn you into a Data Scientist capable of solving challenging real-world problems.
