Machine Learning Engineer Masterclass
Machine Learning Engineer Masterclass
Get hands-on experience of an ML Engineer in a 6-week Online program led by ML Tech Leads from top companies like Google and Meta. From learning generative AI, designing scalable ML systems to productionizing models, solve real-world problems that you can showcase on your career portfolio. Certification of course completion will be provided once you complete your capstone project.
Next Kick Off: July 29
Our 6-Week Curriculum
Our class is 2 hours on Zoom from 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. PST / 12:00 to 2:00 P.M. EST every Saturday and Sunday for the first 5 weeks. On week 6, we have one 1-hour class where you showcase your capstone project.
Build a Recommender System
2 weeks - 4 classes
We will give you a real-world business case that requires a scalable recommender system. We will then teach you the math on the state-of-the-art ranking and retrieval models and how to address scaling challenges for large serving systems. Then we will teach you how to code, build and deploy the model using Tensorflow and Google’s Vertex AI.
Build large language models (LLM) and applications.
2 weeks - 4 classes
We will teach you the basics of language modeling, and a theoretical as well as practical understanding of generative AI. You will learn foundational concepts such as the attention mechanism and the transformer architecture, and build a language model like chatGPT from scratch. You will also get hands-on with emerging techniques such as prompt engineering, and build a question-answering chat assistant for your web pages on the internet (retrieval-augmented QA). Finally, we will show you how to build and deploy an LLM app to the cloud.
Build computer vision models and applications - face recognition system.
1 weeks - 2 classes
We will teach you the basics of computer vision, and an understanding of deep convolutional neural networks. You will learn the various CNN architectures and how to interpret what the model is doing and why. We will also teach you foundational generative AI concepts such as neural style transfer, stable diffusion and text-to-image generation. You will then build a face recognition system incorporating concepts such as face detection, representation and classification. Finally, you will learn how to design scalable, reliable and production-ready ML systems.
Complete a Capstone Project
1 week - 1 class
The final week is the capstone project week where you and peer group will choose an end-to-end ML project to build. You will present your solution in the final class and receive the AI Edge Certification upon delivery.

Am I ready for the masterclass?
This course is an advanced course in ML. We expect that you have had 1-year of professional experience in ML or completed a university degree in machine learning and/or data science.
What is the pre-requisite knowledge for the masterclass?
We expect that you already grasp ML fundamentals (e.g. the variance and bias trade-off), Python coding and neural network basics (e.g. back propagation).
How advanced in this course?
We will teach best practices in ML engineering in three major problem areas - recommender system, large language model, computer vision - and teach you ML system design and productionization.
How much math do I need to know?
The portion of the course will be dedicated on deconstructing the mathematics of SOTAs like Two-Tower Model, Transformer, and Reinforcement Learning. We expect that you have a base knowledge on how a neural network model works.
How much coding do I need to know?
We expect that you have at least 1-year experience in Python programming. Having a basic knowledge in TensorFlow is a plus as we will use this to develop and productionize models.
What is the tech stack covered in the course?
We will use Python, TensorFlow, Colab, Docker, Cloud (e.g. AWS), FastAPI.
I won't be able to attend some of the class, will the class be recorded? And, how long is the access?
Yes, the class will be recorded, and you will have access to it for a year.
What goes on in the Slack group?
You will gain access to community of instructors, your peers in current masterclass and alumni to exchange ideas and upskill in ML engineering together.
What happens after I purchase?
You will receive an onboarding content, including Slack group access and Zoom invites to your classes.
Can I get a company reimbursement?
Yes, we will send you an invoice that enables you to reimburse the purchase.
Is it possible to pay in installments?
Absolutely, we provide a payment plan that allows you to pay in 3 monthly installments.
How do I get the AiEdge certification?
After completion of the Capstone project on week 6, you will receive the AiEdge Certification which you can display on your professional portfolio (e.g. resume, LinkedIn).
