  • MLflowMLflow
  • FastAPIFastAPI

You can start for FREE! Join a live workshop for web development, data analytics, or UX design.

What you will learn in practice

You will learn Data Science through 6 modules, either full-time for 2 months or part-time for 6 months.

Prepwork: get ready to start the bootcamp!

40h

Once you’ve been accepted, you'll receive about 40 hours of online learning resources, carefully curated by Le Wagon to be intuitive and interactive. This prepwork will ensure you have the necessary foundations in Python and maths before the bootcamp starts.

  • Setup your learning environment (notes, text editor, ...)
  • Terminal, Git and OS basic commands
  • Python foundations 
  • Maths foundations (in a fun & intuitive way!)

What you will do in practice

  • 40 hours of online tutorials
  • Curated resources from Le Wagon to gain solid foundations

Data Analysis

80h

Learn Python for data science: extract data from relational databases, manipulate big data matrix and build visualizations. Understand key maths concepts for data analysis like statistics & linear algebra.

  • Source data from files, web-scraping, or APIs
  • Manipulate data with Python, Pandas & Numpy
  • Query / store data with SQL & Google Big Query

Build your own neural networks (dense, recurrent, or convolutional), to work on images, sequences and texts. Learn how to re-use and transfer learning from pre-trained “big-models”  from latest open-source research! Get your hands dirty with auto-encoders, batch data processing pipelines, and GPU training.

  • TensorFlow
  • Keras
  • Google Colab

What you will build in practice

  • Dense neural network for fraud transaction detection
  • Transfer learning for image classification
  • Auto-encoders for image compression and denoising

Machine Learning Engineering (MLOps)

40h

Turn your best handcrafted models into a replicable python package that can be trained on big data in the cloud, using virtual machines and online databases. Monitor your model performance as new data comes in, retrain it when needed, and expose its predictions to the world via APIs or websites.

  • VS code & command line
  • Google Cloud, Virtual Machines, SSH for the trainer
  • MLflow & Prefect for DAG orchestration
  • Docker & Fast API for the backend
  • Streamlit for the frontend

What you will build in practice

  • ML model for predicting taxi fares, trained on big data on the cloud with GPUs
  • Visual web dashboard showing live predictions (on charts, maps, etc.)
  • Trained models in production capable of self-healing

Project weeks

80h

Projects Phase is the ultimate experience of the course. Collaborate efficiently in teams of 3-4 people on a real data science project that you will either join or pitch to your class. Use either open-data repositories (government initiatives, Kaggle, Paper with Code, etc...) or bring your own private dataset. With full-time mentoring from expert teachers, let your wildest dream come true!

What you will build in practice

  • Make an app with a live demo of model predictions
  • Create an in-depth analysis of a business dataset
  • Replicate latest AI research papers with Big Models!
