AI & Predictive Analytics with Python

This module explores the power of unsupervised learning techniques in Python for discovering hidden patterns in data. Learners will begin with the foundations of clustering methods such as Meanshift and advance into more sophisticated models like Affinity Propagation and Gaussian Mixture Models. The module emphasizes evaluating clustering quality metrics and applying these techniques in practical programming scenarios. By the end of this module, learners will be able to analyze, implement, and evaluate clustering algorithms for real-world applications in domains like customer segmentation, image processing, and pattern recognition.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of supervised learning in Python and explores the integration of logic-based programming for AI problem-solving. The first part focuses on popular classification methods such as logistic regression, Naive Bayes, and Support Vector Machines (SVM), along with practical tools like the confusion matrix for evaluating predictive performance. The second part transitions into symbolic AI through logic programming, covering applications such as family tree reasoning, puzzle solving, heuristic search, local search techniques, and constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). By the end of this module, learners will gain the ability to apply classification algorithms, interpret performance metrics, and construct logic-based solutions to real-world AI challenges.

This module provides a practical foundation in Natural Language Processing (NLP) using Python and NLTK. Learners will explore the complete NLP pipeline, from tokenization and text preprocessing to stemming, lemmatization, and segmentation. The module further introduces advanced tasks such as information extraction, chunking, chinking, and Named Entity Recognition (NER). Finally, learners will study parsing techniques using Context-Free Grammar (CFG), recursive descent parsing, and shift-reduce parsing to analyze sentence structure. By the end of this module, learners will be able to apply NLP techniques in Python for text analysis, information extraction, and grammar-based parsing of natural language.
