By this course: 1-)You will start to learn how to do data analysis with real life data. The course can be taken as long as you wish to learn..

Last week I went to the workshops at NIPS (biggest ML conference in the world) and I also attended part of the ML and the Law symposium the day before. I found out a little bit too late about the symposia but I was still able to attend two panels on which there were both lawyers and computer scientists. They were very insightful and informative -- did you know that this Spring, the European Union passed a regulation giving its citizens a "right to an explanation" for decisions made by machine-learning systems? The panel discussions were motivated by the problem of explaining ML-powered decisions which have an important impact on people's lives: We need to be able to test how systems get to their conclusions; if we can't test, we can't contest. Individuals are entitled to know which data is being processed of them, and to explanations of how predictions & decisions work, in terms they can understand.
