DataRobot training aims to upskill citizen data scientists

A new training program from AI and auto machine learning vendor DataRobot aims to teach citizen data scientists, including business analysts and data analysts, practical data science and AI skills. The paid program, "10x: The Applied Data Science Academy," provides instruction in skills such as problem framing, exploring data, feature engineering, and deploying models. It involves 40 hours of hands-on, self-paced training, 20 hours of practical labs, and 40 hours on a capstone project. With the program, revealed on Wednesday during DataRobot's AI Experience Worldwide virtual conference, held June 16-17, DataRobot enters an already crowded online AI training field. Vendors such as Google, IBM, and Microsoft have long offered free and paid analytics and AI training programs, as have many colleges and universities.
