Description

This course is for business school students and MBAs with strong analytic backgrounds who want to learn about machine learning.

Who am I?

I'm a business school professor who beat Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI, in a $100K bet on startup valuations (see intro video).
How did I beat Sam Altman? By using machine learning.

In this course, I teach you what I teach my business school students: How to think about machine learning and how to apply it to business problems to give you an edge.

The course begins with an overview of the AI industry: NVIDIA is a $2 trillion dollar company!

I then discuss the intuition behind neural networks and decision trees without using any code.

We then delve into Python code where I give you thousands of lines of code that you can use in your applications: Simply substitute your dataset and then run the code!

By the end of this course, you'll not only have mastered the fundamentals of machine learning but also gained the confidence to apply these techniques effectively in real-world business scenarios. So if you're ready to gain a competitive edge in today's data-driven landscape, join me on this transformative journey into the world of machine learning. Enroll now and unlock the secrets to success in the digital age.
