Skills you’ll learn
This course is being read from the conception that the Data Scientific pipeline that makes ML magic, which is currently more known as AI is the only important part of any project. All other technical parts are basically inessential for competition.
This fall the vision of the course aligned with the reality pretty well. Using tools like lovable.dev or cursor one can create and deploy anything that doesn’t require DS knowledge in the matter of hours. For these tools we will have a relatively short but comprehensive overview, that will allow participants to employ all powers of generative coding.
The course will cover main techniques and principles of organizing DS work with python, key libraries, design principles and ML-Ops practices.
Primitives of data science will be taught in old style and tested in old style of oral examination of ability to use them without generative AI with minimum usage of documentation, the same way as it being done for courses in maths with slight correction for AI age – some of your examinators will be robots.
To solve real tasks and for capstone project development usage of generative AI will be strongly encouraged.
At the end of the course most of the participants will have their own DS-based services, most probably internal for harbour space institute of technology ready to gain first users.
15 classes
Colab notebooks ecosystem, gdrive integration, git integration, AI code completion, gemini integrations, limitations of colabs, ssh, jupyter lab ecosystem at glance.
Windsurf, cursor and AI assisted development with python – everything beside DS made it in an instant.
Capstone projects distribution.
Memory, functions, decorators, and generators.
Practical way of applying AI – multimodal LLMS of the shelf.
Fundamental way of data manipulation: Pandas. Reading .csv files, Titanic dataset. Hands-on manipulating the datasets.
Data visualisation. Hands on visualisation, automated data visualisation and interactive plotting.
Classes, inheritance, generics, Sklearn. Basic ML concepts: cross validation, fit/predict. Preparing prediction for Titanic dataset.
Checking homework assignments on the first 3 sessions. Sklearn and numpy methods for data manipulations.
Deploy and production solutions with windsurf.
Data versioning. Git. Working with enterprise data analysis systems, pitfalls, and techniques.
Robotic oral examination of weekly homework and followup questions.
Performing data analysis at scale.
Labeling as a service. Getting your human-in-the-loop data in an instant.
Storing custom approximators as custom. Sklearn classes. Sklearn pipelines.
Robotic oral examination of weekly homework and followup questions.
Analysing data with AI beside openai API – huggingface.
Automl for approximation. Using AI to generate DS pipelines. AI empowered R&D.
Python integrations. MCP libraries for agents.
Big processing with Python instruments, Cython. Automation with windsurf/cursor.
Consultations on student projects.
Finals
Media
Knowledge of Python on the level of snakify.org is highly recommended.
A general interest in statistics and data analysis is also a plus.
We will study a set of practical jupyter notebooks, interrupted by relatively short theoretical parts. There will be two big homework assignments designed to emulate a relatively real data science project.
There will also be personal projects based on Python integrations and capabilities of data analysis; this will be a good example of time management in a DS project.
At the end we will have an oral exam with a short capstone project demonstration.
After the end of the course, a project pitching session for a start-up jury will be organised for those who wish to participate.
Maxim Musin comes from a background in statistics, advanced multidimensional probability, and random processes. During his career in these fields, he found himself developing skills and gathering experience through working in both academic environments and the private sector. For the last 5 years Maxim is a CEO of for profit AI development laboratory rebels.ai, integrating AI in enterprise and helping startups reach the orbit.
His academic experience ranges from teaching probability and statistics at MSU and MIPT, as a member of the faculty of innovation and high technology, FIHT, which at the time was among the few places worldwide with capabilities for advanced statistics study. During his time there, he produced several notable projects with his students, particularly in regards to the stochastic convergence of neural networks. His course on applied modern statistics became mandatory for the data analysis division of the FIHT MIPT Masters.

FAQ
Will I receive a certificate after completion?
Yes. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate signed by the director of the program your course belonged to.
Do I need a visa?
This depends on your case. Please check with the Spanish or Thai consulate in your country of residence about visa requirements. We will do our part to provide you with the necessary documents, such as the Certificate of Enrollment.
Can I get a discount?
Yes. The easiest way to enroll in a course at a discounted price is to register for multiple courses. Registering for multiple courses will reduce the cost per individual course. Please ask the Admissions Office for more information about the other kinds of discounts we offer and what you can do to receive one.
