Machine Learning, a sub-domain of Artificial Intelligence, employs techniques used for analyzing large data sets and making predictions. These techniques are being adopted by organizations across all industries and all functional areas to achieve better outcomes.
In order to reach optimal performance, you need to adopt the mindset and language of data scientists. In Machine Learning in Business, Rotman delivers just that — the bridge for business professionals to communicate effectively with analysts and data scientists to drive better business outcomes.

New content is released each week, such that the cohort moves in unison through the program with group discussions enriching the learning experience. Because the lectures are recorded, there is flexibility for you to learn on your schedule. Live program support is available throughout the entire learning journey.
Learn why there’s so much buzz about machine learning — what is the language of this domain, what are the three different types of ML, and examples of their applications for business.
Dive into the purpose of unsupervised learning models, and address managerial questions related to clustering and customer segmentation.
Transition from statistics to machine learning with the use of regression models. Start to predict outcomes to inform business decisions.
When facing a big decision, discover which questions on a decision tree are the highest priority
Data points not cooperating for classification? Tap into a technique that helps to classify even your most stubborn data.
Discover a fast-growth area of machine learning - neural networks - one of the most flexible approaches to supervised learning.
Imagine a computer playing chess against itself many times, using trial and error strategy to learn. This is reinforcement learning - good for defining the best sequence of decisions that allow you to solve a problem while maximizing a long-term reward.
How do your customers feel about your brand? Are financial analysts bullish about your business or not? One major application of NLP is sentiment analysis. But also voice assistants and chat bots.

This program is designed for anyone who wants to understand how machine learning techniques can help them leverage their data to achieve better outcomes. It is particularly applicable for:
— Emily Majdi, Standards Supervisor (Secondment), Toronto Hydro
— Sachin Jain, Managing Solution Architect, Fujitsu Americas
John Hull is the Maple Financial Professor of Derivatives and Risk Management at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. He is academic director of FinHub, and his research and teaching have been in the machine learning area in the last few years. The program has been inspired by his book - "Machine Learning in Business: An Introduction to the World of Data Science” (now in its 2nd edition). Apart from this he has written three other books: “Risk Management and Financial Institutions” (now in its 5th edition); "Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives" (now in its 11th edition); "Fundamentals of Futures and Options Markets" (now in its 9th edition). The books have been translated into many languages and are widely used by practicing managers as well as in the classroom. He was in 2016 awarded the title of University Professor (an honor granted to only 2% of faculty at University of Toronto.) He has acted as consultant to many financial institutions throughout the world and has won many teaching awards, including University of Toronto's prestigious Northrop Frye award. Dr. Hull is co-director of Rotman’s Master of Finance and Master of Financial Risk Management programs.
Upon successful completion of the program, you’ll earn a digital certificate of completion from the Rotman School of Management. This program counts toward a Rotman Excellence in Executive Leadership Certificate.
