AI & Predictive Analytics with Python

This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics using Python. Learners will progress from foundational concepts of predictive modeling and ensemble methods to advanced unsupervised clustering techniques like Meanshift, Affinity Propagation, and Gaussian Mixture Models. The course then explores supervised learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, and Support Vector Machines, and transitions into logic programming and problem-solving approaches such as heuristic search, local search, and constraint satisfaction problems. The final module introduces Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Python and NLTK, covering tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, segmentation, information extraction, chunking, Named Entity Recognition (NER), and grammar-based parsing techniques including Context-Free Grammar, recursive descent parsing, and shift-reduce parsing. By the end of this course, learners will be able to: • Apply predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms to real-world problems. • Analyze clustering, classification, and NLP pipelines to process structured and unstructured data. • Evaluate model performance using metrics such as confusion matrices and clustering quality measures. • Construct logic-based AI solutions using rules, constraints, and search strategies. • Design end-to-end workflows for predictive modeling, text mining, and syntactic parsing. This course is ideal for learners seeking to apply, analyze, and evaluate AI methods for data science, predictive analytics, and natural language processing applications using Python
