Demonstrate your foundational understanding of Data Literacy or AI
🎓 Step 1: Get Certified!
📝 Step 2: Explain your choice of metrics
One of your colleagues is interested in taking a Fundamentals Certification, and is wondering how it will help them in their day-to-day job. Explain in less than 200 words how you have used a skill from the certification in your work.
As a programmer, I developed a classification model that organizes text-based transactions into an Excel sheet. Initially, the model was biased towards certain transaction types, leading to unfair and skewed results. This could impact business decisions by misrepresenting transaction data.
The AI Fundamentals Certification taught me how to correct this bias. Classification models learn from data to make predictions about categories of items. I learned to rebalance the dataset and apply fairness-aware techniques. This ensures all transaction types are fairly represented, aligning with AI principles of fairness and accuracy.
Correcting the bias has improved the model’s accuracy and fairness towards users, leading to better decision-making and increased trust in the system. This highlights how understanding AI fundamentals can enhance the reliability of real-world applications.
