Managing a machine learning project: the role of the product owner

Manage a machine learning project using best business practices



AI is a powerful "technology" that impacts all business processes, transforms organizations and will change the way we work, providing a lever for profitability and innovation. These transformations can only be achieved with business teams who understand AI, its challenges and best practices. This in-depth but non-technical course enables product managers, project managers and product owners to turn AI into a lever for creating value and profitability. You will acquire the skills needed to lead a project using machine learning.

Course schedule

1
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)

  • The challenges of AI.
  • Overview of AI (rules VS ML, hybrid systems...).
  • Machine learning: concept and use cases.
  • Regression, classification and clustering.
  • Artificial neural networks/deep learning.
  • NLP: principles and applications.
  • Computer vision: principles and applications.
Exercise
Ice breaker to get you started.

2
AI use cases

  • Presentation of corporate use cases.
  • Selection of use cases for analysis.
Exercise
Business case analysis to determine whether ML is the right solution. Which approach to use?

3
Preparing for a machine learning project

  • Challenges and risks.
  • Skills required.
  • Evaluate and prepare your data.
  • Agility for ML projects.
Hands-on work
AI project: business canvas. Choose a problem to be addressed by ML. Fill in the canvas.

4
ML project: value creation

  • From bread and butter to value creation.
  • Customer-centric" approach, design thinking" approach.
  • The challenges of integrating AI models into business processes.

5
ML algorithms

  • Presentation.
  • Modeling a problem in the machine learning sense: input/output.
  • Main characteristic algorithms.
  • Model hyperparameters.

6
End-to-end approach to the ML project

  • Overfitting/underfitting: what are the solutions?
  • Who does what in an ML project?
  • With what methodology?
  • From data acquisition to industrialization (illustrated by a use case).
  • Data issues: quantity, quality, non-representativeness, focus on "imbalanced dataset".
  • Features engineering: irrelevent features, how to select, extract and create new features.
  • Data/algorithm issues, biases, privacy.
Hands-on work
Presentation of use cases: classification, clustering, NLP/classification. Select a use case, prepare your dataset. Visualize data. Present relevant "features".

7
Creating machine learning models

  • The AI ecosystem.
  • Overview of solutions, players and suppliers, existing online services from GAFAMs and start-ups.
  • Python language, libraries :
  • Data processing (NumPy, Pandas, matplotlib, etc.).
  • From ML (Keras, scikit-learn...).
  • From DL (Tensorflow).
Hands-on work
Implementation of an ML project and step-by-step monitoring of the project with the help of a data scientist coach (Preparation and visualization of data. Feature selection. Model training and evaluation. Performance measurement. Creation of a code-free ML model).

8
Business valuation issues

  • Value creation.
  • The challenges of evaluation.
  • Performance.
  • ROI, return on investment.

9
Project and organization practices

  • Synthesis of best practices from a business perspective.
  • Organizing skills within a data-driven organization.

The course was very interesting and provided a lot of knowledge in the right areas, but the subject matter was very dense, which meant that there was a little less interaction unfortunately.

very complete, perhaps more simple representations to better understand the processing done on the data by the data analysts, and less on the python implementation which I don't master.

dense subject but I think I've got a good grasp of most of the concepts.
