The Indian Institute of Technology has launched the Certificate Programme in Machine Learning and Deep Learning to provide skills for learners to design and implement various techniques to develop competencies in these technologies to foster growth in this domain.

The six-month Certificate Programme in Machine Learning and Deep Learning will build competencies in Python programming, including skills to load and pre-process the data from online and offline databases using pandas. It will also equip learners to design and train neural networks using Keras and TensorFlow modules and design various techniques for real-world applications.

Machine learning and deep learning find their applications for product recommendations, online fraud detection, image & speech recognition, natural language processing, virtual assistants, etc. As per Future of Jobs 2020 by the World Economic Forum, machine learning and other new-age technologies have led to several new opportunities and a demand for skilled professionals across sectors. Reports suggest that AI and machine learning investments will grow in India at an impressive CAGR of 33.49 per cent till 2023.

The Certificate Programme in Machine Learning and Deep Learning will be conducted on a state-of-the-art Interactive Learning (IL) platform and delivered in Direct-to-Device (D2D) mode. It follows a proven pedagogy consisting of class exercises, presentations, simulations, hands-on projects, and case studies. The programme will help learners vastly enhance their skillsets by learning subjects such as Deep Learning, Applications of Machine Learning, Data Analysis & Applied Math, and Python Programming.

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi observes that since organisations are investing significantly in machine learning and deep learning technologies to address future challenges, the rapid adoption of tech across industries will lead to opportunities and demand for skilled and highly qualified personnel. The Certificate Programme in Machine Learning and Deep Learning will enable the skilling of talent towards making India among the largest markets for the adoption and use of cutting-edge technologies.
