Lifelong Learning Initiative – List of Free upGrad Courses
As mentioned earlier, the Lifelong Learning initiative is divided into three broad categories – Data Science, Technology, and Management. While the Data Science and Technology domains each include four courses, there are two courses under Management.
Data Science
1. Python for Data Science
Python is a favourite among the developer and Data Science communities. It’s English-like syntax, and an easy learning curve is what makes Python one of the most extensively used programming languages in the world.
This course will walk you through a step-by-step on Python and its fundamentals, including lists, strings, and data structures – all from Python’s coding perspective. The course will also introduce you to some of the most popular Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.
Last but not least, you will learn Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) in Python, which will help you understand datasets and how to extract relevant insights from them – a pivotal aspect of Machine Learning.
This course implies that data scientists must manage the level of access to be provided to data for an organization’s employees. The reason is that a significant amount of data can be exploited in an organization.
The access to the data and resources in the organization must be limited considering an employee’s role. This course helps you to develop an auto-access model that would minimize the human involvement needed to grant or cancel access to the employee. Moreover, it would be accomplished automatically.
It is one of those upGrad free courses that emphasize computer science and statistics as integral elements of data science. When it comes to a prerequisite, you need to know the fundamentals of programming and linear algebra.
Its learning path assumes that you are coding in Python. The good news is that this programming language is easy to learn, specifically for beginners who have never programmed earlier. Moreover, its syntax is intuitive and involves a narrow learning curve.
2. Introduction to Machine Learning Concepts
Need we tell you that Machine Learning is one of the brightest stars in the present industry? Businesses and organizations across all parallels of the industry are leveraging ML tools and technologies to create innovative products that have already changed our lives radically.
This is an introductory ML course that will teach you about the three core concepts of Machine Learning – Logistic Regression, Linear Regression, and Clustering. While Logistic Regression is an ML technique for binary classification of factors, Linear Regression in machine learning helps determine the strength of the association between one dependent variable and multiple independent variables.
Another exciting component of this course is Recommendation Systems, which is used by giants like Netflix and Amazon. This module will teach you the inner functionings of the algorithms that fuel the recommendation engines of e-commerce sites.
Machine learning and predictive modeling are two of the most significant parts of data science. These parts make the data-driven systems more intelligent. Machine Learning involves a steep learning curve. But this course helps you to learn it easily. It explains how Python’s Scikit-Learn library extracts all the details of leading Machine Learning Algorithms and simplifies training models by easy coding.
You must know the basic logic of the algorithm. It helps you ensure you are using the correct algorithm for the correct problem and parameters. You must have a decent knowledge of linear algebra to understand the algorithms and logic in machine learning. This course is entirely focused on machine learning. It uses open-source and free programming languages like R, Python, Octave, etc.
It is one of the best upGrad free courses for learning machine learning because it provides enough useful materials. It includes hands-on assignments to help you effectively learn all essential aspects of machine learning. The text tutorials and videos are insufficient for learning these concepts. So, this course includes practice assignments for a thorough learning experience.
It explains to students the working of machine learning-related algorithms. Its mathematical working is essential to understand the applications as well as developing programs to solve real-life problems.
Professionals and students who want to pursue machine learning courses may have their jobs and classes running alongside them. Hence, it is better if the course is on-demand and self-paced. This upGrad machine learning course fulfills both these aspects.
The experienced instructors teach from practical industry examples so that students can easily relate the topics to real life. You must add this course to your upGrad free courses list because it provides you with placement support from upGrad. You benefit from a career mentor and a personal student success mentor for comprehensive learning support. Moreover, this course unlocks your access to worldwide job opportunities. So, it is one of the best upGrad free courses for your career advancement.
Note that machine learning is a continuously evolving field with new techniques and applications introduced frequently. You can read articles and research papers about your topic of interest in machine learning.
