COMPETENCIES

 

4036.1.11 : Machine Learning

The graduate creates models with machine learning algorithms in order to extract actionable insights from data.

INTRODUCTION

 

Machine learning is the “science and art of programming computers so they can learn from data” (Géron, 2019, p. 1). Machine learning is a collection of approaches that automates analytical model building and supports the discovery of insights from data. This assumes that algorithms can learn and improve from data, including examples, direct experience, or instruction; identify relationships; and help make decisions with minimal interventions from the human user. It is the pivotal engine behind artificial intelligence efforts supporting supervised, unsupervised, and reinforced learning algorithms enabling the analysis of massive amounts of data.

 

While early forms of machine learning have existed for decades, in recent years the applications of machine learning fueled by vast new amounts of “big data” have grown exponentially. Advertisement placements, dating recommendations, genetic medicines, baseball, stock market investing, and self-driving cars are just a few domains that are heavily driven by machine learning technologies. Ethical issues are emerging from these developments that still have not been fully resolved by society. But one thing appears certain: machine learning is here to stay.

 

In this course you have read about many of the foundational concepts and techniques of machine learning. This task asks you create a detailed proposal concerning how machine learning techniques could be applied to a relevant data set of your choosing, what possible outcomes might be expected, and why such outcomes could be organizationally significant.

SCENARIO

 

In this assignment, you will assume the role of a recently hired machine learning engineer in an organization that has been asked to use available data to identify an organizational need that could be solved by machine learning. The organization then needs to outline a plan for designing and executing a machine learning model to solve this organizational need. You will explore available data sets and machine learning algorithms supporting the construction of a model that the organization would use, following the plan that you put together. You will outline the problem, the solution, and the project plan, as well as the framework for evaluating the success of the model and the project.

REQUIREMENTS

 

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The originality report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.

 

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

 

Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
