Appendix A: Mapping Course Content to CertNexus® Certified Artificial Intelligence (AI) Practitioner (Exam AIP-210)Appendix B: Datasets Used in This Course
 

The skills covered in this course converge on four areassoftware development, IT operations, applied math and statistics, and business analysis. Target students for this course should be looking to build upon their knowledge of the data science process so that they can apply AI systems, particularly machine learning models, to business problems. So, the target student is likely a data science practitioner, software developer, or business analyst looking to expand their knowledge of machine learning algorithms and how they can help create intelligent decision making products that bring value to the business. A typical student in this course should have several years of experience with computing technology, including some aptitude in computer programming. This course is also designed to assist students in preparing for the CertNexus® Certified Artificial Intelligence (AI) Practitioner (Exam AIP-210) certification.
 

No certification available.

To ensure your success in this course, you should be familiar with the concepts that are foundational to data science, including:

• overall data science and machine learning process from end to end: formulating the problem;

collecting and preparing data; analyzing data; engineering and preprocessing data; training, tuning, and evaluating a model; and finalizing a model.

• concepts such as sampling, hypothesis testing, probability distribution, randomness, etc.
• statistics such as mean, median, mode, interquartile range (IQR), standard deviation,

skewness, etc.

• plots, charts, and other methods of visual data analysis.

You can obtain this level of skills and knowledge by taking the CertNexus course Certified Data Science Practitioner (CDSP) (Exam DSP-110).You must also be comfortable writing code in the Python programming language, including the use of fundamental Python data science libraries like NumPy and pandas. The Logical Operations course Using Data Science Tools in Python® teaches these skills.To ensure their success in this course, students should have at least a high-level understanding of fundamental AI concepts, including, but not limited to: machine learning, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, artificial neural networks, computer vision, and natural language processing. They can obtain this level of knowledge by taking the CertNexus AIBIZ™ (Exam AIZ-110) course.They should also have experience working with databases and high-level programming languages such as Python, Java, or C/C++. They can obtain this level of skills and knowledge by taking the following courses:

• Database Design: A Modern Approach
• Python® Programming: Introduction
• Python® Programming: Advanced
