Full Stack Data Science

“Jack of all trades, master of none, though oft times better than master of one.”

One of the common pain points that we have come across in big organizations is the last-mile delivery of data science applications. One common delivery vehicle is to create dashboards(BI). But the one, that’s very useful and neglected more often than not, is to create APIs and provide seamless integration with other applications within the company. This requires you to have a basic understanding of machine learning, server-side programming and front-end application.

In this workshop, you would learn how to build a seamless end-to-end data driven application - Data Exploration, Machine Learning Model, RESTful API and Web Application - to solve a business prediction problem.

Course Content

  1. Introduction to Data Science Process
  2. Building a simple Machine Learning model
  3. Building a simple ML Service (localhost)
  4. Improving the ML model and creating many models
  5. Creating RESTful API and deploying to cloud
  6. Create dashboard to visualise the results and interact with the API.
  7. Persisting model output
  8. Updating the model as more data comes in (batch only - no streaming)
  9. Creating a simple application that accomplishes this end-to-end

This will be covered over eight sessions of two hours each over two days.
