AI training course: Industrial AI and Machine Learning master class

A three-day learning journey offering an engaging and hands-on workshop experience to gain advanced knowledge about industrial AI and machine learning.

Description

Build your AI and machine learning skills by joining this course, where you will be introduced to advanced AI and machine learning design and modelling techniques in an industrial context. The goal of this three-day lecture-based course is to provide engineers with deep knowledge and hands-on experience with machine learning design and modelling techniques and enable them to gain a strong basis for mastering the AI/ML field.

The course covers topics such as:  

  • Intro to AI: data-driven AI versus classical AI 
  • Machine learning and deep learning 
  • Potentials and pitfalls of AI/ML  
  • AI/ML lifecycle processes 
  • Intro to various ML algorithms – when to use and not to use them 
  • Deep dive into ML design & modelling 
  • Hands-on ML design & modelling 
  • Select datasets to play with (or you can bring your own!)

The course can be held at your premises, DNV’s premises or online, and is offered on request. Pricing depends on the number of participants and the venue. Please send us a non-binding request with your needs to receive a quote. 

This course is exclusively available to groups representing an organization and is not open to individuals in a private capacity. We recommend a maximum of 12 participants.

All course participants will receive a certificate after completing the course. 

In addition to the classrom course, you will get:

  1. A planning session with DNV experts so we can get a better understanding of your objectives and how we can tailor the course to your needs
  2. An assessment of competence pre- and post-course to map progress in understanding and knowledge
  3. Online follow-up sessions approximately 12 and 24 weeks after the course with DNV experts to discuss challenges and successes after the course

Learning objectives

Upon completing this course, you will: 

  • have a better understanding of what is meant by AI/ML 
  • have an understanding of what a complete AI/ML lifecycle looks like  
  • have basic understanding of various ML algorithms and when and how to apply them 
  • have first-hand experience to run the whole processes of ML design and modelling 
  • have a strong basis to continue your journey to master AI/ML field 

Target group 

Ideal for engineers with fundamental programming skills or experience. Your role is crucial in the successful development and adoption of trustworthy and responsible AI. By mastering the essentials, you’ll gain the tools needed to drive your organization’s AI success.

Read our frequently asked questions about Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a common designation of technologies where a machine performs tasks that are considered to require intelligence. This typically relates to speech recognition, computer vision, problem solving, logical inference, optimalizations, recommendations, etc.

AI is often divided into two main domains: Rule-based AI and machine learning. Rule-based AI is where we take human insight and knowledge and codify it into rules, such that the machine can perform tasks based on these rules. This kind of AI is very structured and explainable, but less flexible, as it can only be used for tasks for which specific rules have been developed. Machine learning (ML), on the other hand, is AI which is created from data. The applications infer their own rules and correlations from the data. This makes for flexible models, but with larger ML models, it can be difficult to explain decisions. In many practical applications, a combination of rule-based and machine learning is used.

The EU AI Act is a new regulation of AI use in the European Union. 

The Act’s purpose is: 

‘To improve the functioning of the internal market and promote the uptake of human-centric and trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI), while ensuring a high level of protection of health, safety, fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, including democracy, the rule of law and environmental protection, against the harmful effects of artificial intelligence systems (AI systems) in the Union, and to support innovation.’ 

The Act sets a common risk-based framework for using and supplying AI systems in the EU. It is binding on all EU member states and requires no additional approval at national level. However, variations on how national regulatory bodies are set up, and guidelines on how to align with other member states’ regulations, and so on, will be established. Learn more on EU’s official pages here.

The EU AI Act regulates all AI in Europe. To understand what is required, one must first assess the risk category of the AI. Learn more on EU’s official pages here.

The EU Act passed the EU Parliament in March 2024, and will entry into force June 2024. There is in general a 2-year period until compliance must be in place.  But there are also earlier statutory milestones along the way. For example, after 6 months of the Act coming into force, a ban on prohibited AI practices must be in place. Rules on General Purpose AI (GPAI) are required after 12 months. Obligations for high-risk systems must be in force within 24 months. Learn more on EU’s official pages here.

High-risk AI means that the supplier and deployer (user) must meet stringent regulatory requirements for use. Providers of a high-risk AI system will have to put it through a regulatory conformity assessment before offering it in the EU or otherwise putting it into service. They will also have to implement quality and risk management systems for such an AI system. Learn more on EU’s official pages here.

Generative AI is a type of machine learning that can create new data (numbers, text, video, etc) from an underlying data distribution. Generative AI is therefore probabilistic in nature.

Conformance testing (or compliance testing) means to test a system to assess if it meets given standards or specific requirements.

Fairness of an AI system is often defined to mean that the AI system does not contain bias or discrimination. This means that the AI system is created from data that are representative for the kind of distribution and algorithmic behaviour we would want the AI system to have.

Algorithm verification means to assess if an algorithm meets specific requirements. When AI is deployed into larger systems, we need to assess how the system and its components work. Algorithm testing is one way of verifying that the AI algorithm works as intended.

AI assurance means to (i) establish what requirements the AI needs to meet and (ii) verify compliance to these requirements.

The AI lifecycle covers all the phases of AI, from problem definition to data acquisition, to model development, deployment and update. The lifecycle is often iterated several times.

Model validation means to ensure that the model is solving the right problem, by comparing model outputs to independent real-world observations. Without a validated model you cannot trust that the models are solving the right problem.

Black-box testing means testing of a model without access to or insight into its internal structure or working. Inputs are provided to the black-box and outputs are received.
