Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Artificial Intelligence at Northwestern University

Recent advances in and integrations of machine learning and artificial intelligence are significantly impacting the ways that data scientists build and program computer software, statistical models, and neural networks. Each of these areas is comprised of different analytical approaches; artificial intelligence utilizes rules-based, logic, and knowledge-based systems, while machine learning relies upon data-adaptive methods such as naïve Bayes models, nearest neighbor models, classification and regression trees, random forests, support vector machines, and neural networks. Data-adaptive models are the next step in the progression of modeling and analytics, from traditional statistics to data mining to machine learning, where computer software learns from data and makes traditional models more flexible.
