CL Data School

Machine learning for everyone

Machine learning is the new literacy

Our Data Science team in CL believes that Data Analysis and machine learning can be within the reach of everybody who is curious and keen to learn. We have developed a unique pedagogy which makes it easy to induct non-technical hands to experience the thrill of solving a machine learning problem. We have put people from diverse backgrounds and experience levels through the program and seen some very surprising results. People from finance, marketing, sales, HR, content writers, CXO level leaders, department heads have all participated in hands on interactive sessions and walked away high in confidence after solving a few machine learning problems related to their field.

Are you data ready?

Thanks to the media, most of us are aware of the promise and the potential of AI. We even have a somewhat good idea of what it is being used for today. But as the development of artificial intelligence progresses, AI is no longer something that we can just appreciate from afar. While AI is expected to one day be able to replace all of our jobs, the more immediate impact is in its ability to analyse and bring meaningful insights and predictions from the vast stockpiles of data available to companies today. The sub domain of artificial intelligence that deals with this field is machine learning. The biggest differentiator going forward for businesses will be in their mastery of the possibilities and limitations of machine learning.

Pedagogy

We are great believers in Online education but we believe the first immersion in data science requires careful mentoring. Our faculty will show what is the exact amount of exposure you need to different concepts before you sink your teach into a ML problem. We make every person experience the joy learning a programming language like Python and implement state of the art data analysis libraries. We will lean on carefully handpicked online resources to enable you to learn from videos and hands on tutorials available online. When you get stuck we are there to help you get unstuck.
