What you'll learn
Performance optimization needs systematic profiling and targeted fixes across pipeline stages, from data prep to model execution.
Effective ML workflows depend on branching strategies and CI/CD practices aligned with team size, release pace, and deployment needs.
Production ML systems balance model accuracy with inference speed through techniques like quantization and pruning.
Sustainable ML codebases integrate version control with automated testing and deployment pipelines for quality and velocity.

Frequently asked questions
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.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
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.
