A Review of IBM's Advanced Machine Learning and Signal Processing Certification

This review has been written with the intention of not only providing you with my opinion of the course but also to provide an insight into the topics covered and teach some of the key concepts. The Advanced Machine Learning and Signal Processing course was developed by IBM and available on Coursera. It is available as an individual course or as one-part of a four-part massive open online course (MOOC), the Advanced Data Science Specialization. The Fundamentals of Scalable Data Science focuses on the basics of Apache Spark in the cloud and acted as an introduction to IBM Watson Studio (IBM's cloud service). In contrast, this course is significantly more in-depth, focusing on more advanced machine learning concepts and signal processing. The course is delivered by two IBM data scientists, Romeo Kienzler and Nickolay Manchev.
