Do I need coding experience to take this course?

Basic familiarity with Python and data concepts is helpful but not required. Module 3 includes a dedicated lesson on H2O Flow, a no-code visual interface that allows you to execute the full AutoML lifecycle without writing a single line of code.

What types of ML models will I build?

You will build classification and regression models using real-world datasets. H2O AutoML automatically trains and compares multiple algorithms including GBM, XGBoost, Deep Learning, and Stacked Ensembles and ranks them on a leaderboard for your evaluation.

What is the H2O AutoML leaderboard?

The leaderboard is a ranked list of all models trained during an AutoML run, sorted by performance metrics. You will learn to interpret leaderboard signals to make informed model selection decisions rather than blindly trusting the top-ranked model.

What are MOJO and POJO, and will I learn to use them?

MOJO (Model Object, Optimized) and POJO (Plain Old Java Object) are H2O’s model export formats for production deployment. In Module 3, you will learn to export models as MOJO artifacts and implement both real-time and batch scoring patterns.

H2O Flow is a web-based, no-code interface for running AutoML experiments. In Lesson 3.3, you will use Flow to import data, configure AutoML runs, and interpret results, all through a point-and-click visual workflow without writing code.

Who is this course designed for?

The course targets undergraduate students in engineering, computer science, and data science, as well as working professionals who want to modernize their ML workflow using automated approaches. Business analysts interested in data-driven decision-making will also benefit.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion?

Yes. Upon completing all graded assessments, you will earn a Coursera Course Certificate from Edureka that you can add to your LinkedIn profile, resume, or CV.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

As machine learning adoption grows across industries, automated machine learning (AutoML) platforms are becoming essential for accelerating model development and improving productivity. This course equips you with the practical skills to build, evaluate, optimize, and deploy ML models using H2O AutoML which is one of the most widely adopted open-source automated machine learning platforms. Using H2O, you can start producing results from day one.

Throughout this course, you’ll explore the full AutoML lifecycle and discover how automated pipelines are replacing the trial-and-error approach to model development. Each concept is reinforced through step-by-step video demonstrations using H2O AutoML and H2O Flow that you can follow along and practice at your own pace. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: • Explain what AutoML is, run baseline experiments, and interpret H2O leaderboards for model selection. • Prepare data for automated model selection, diagnose feature quality, and prevent data leakage. • Control model search using constraints and ensembles, and evaluate models using metrics like RMSE, AUC, and Logloss. • Optimize hyperparameters with structured grid search strategies and deploy models via MOJO artifacts for real-time and batch scoring. • Execute the full AutoML lifecycle through H2O Flow, a no-code visual interface, without writing a single line of code. This course is designed for a diverse audience: undergraduate students in engineering, computer science, and data science, working professionals modernizing their ML workflows, business analysts exploring data-driven decision-making, and anyone looking to gain practical machine learning skills with an automated, structured approach. Prior familiarity with basic data concepts and Python is helpful, though the course includes a dedicated no-code module using H2O Flow for learners without programming experience. Take the first step toward automated machine learning mastery and build the skills needed to deliver production-ready ML solutions using H2O AutoML.

Develop a clear mental model of AutoML and its emergence from the scaling limits of manual ML workflows. You will define AutoML as a structured experimentation system and understand H2O AutoML’s execution architecture. Finally, you will run and interpret your first baseline AutoML workflow.

AutoML automates the end-to-end machine learning workflow — including data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and model ranking. It enables users to build production-quality ML models efficiently, even without extensive programming or data science expertise.

This course focuses on H2O AutoML, one of the most widely adopted open-source AutoML platforms in industry. You will also work with H2O Flow, a no-code visual interface for building and evaluating ML models without writing any code.

Yes. This course is built around a follow-along, demo-driven learning model. Each concept is taught through step-by-step video demonstrations using H2O AutoML and H2O Flow that you can replicate on your own setup. You are encouraged to pause, rewind, and practice alongside each demo at your own pace. The course also includes environment setup guidance so you can configure your local H2O installation from the very first lesson.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
