This course is exclusively for participants based in India.
Generative AI is moving quickly from experimentation to enterprise adoption, creating strong demand for advanced AI/ML expertise. This program will equip you with the skills needed to design, deploy, and scale AI/ML solutions responsibly, to lead innovation, and deliver measurable ROI.
Designed for professionals in India who want to transition into AI/ML roles or advance their current projects, this part time program runs for 9 months, with a commitment of 8–10 hours per week. It follows a blended format of recorded online lectures and weekly live sessions and includes a 2-day in-person immersion at the Melbourne Global Centre in Delhi.
Co-designed with Emeritus, a leading provider of affordable high-quality education, you'll gain hands-on expertise across the latest tools and libraries in AI and machine learning, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, and Kubernetes.
Gain essential skills in data science and Python programming
Build a solid understanding of core concepts in data science, including Python programming and key statistical methods. You'll apply your acquired knowledge of mathematics, statistics, and programming to develop AI and Machine learning (ML) applications, essential foundations in the implementation and usage of GenAI (generative AI).
Learn valuable machine learning techniques
Explore key machine learning approaches, including supervised and unsupervised techniques. Learn how to apply these techniques to real-world datasets and improve accuracy, enhance performance, and support better decision-making in AI and generative AI projects.
Discover how deep learning transforms key AI applications
Get hands-on experience with deep learning models, including CNNs (convolutational neural networks), RNNs (recurrent neural networks) and encoder-decoder transformers, and learn how these architectures are revolutionsing image recognition and natural language understanding, which are fundamental in GenAI systems.
Create responsible, real-world AI solutions
Master generative AI, large language models, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and discover how to apply these technologies responsibly, following ethical AI principles to create trustworthy, real-world solutions that drive innovation.
Who you will learn from
Learn from skilled academics and professional experts who will share invaluable knowledge you can use in your job.
