    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are the questions we receive most often:

    What is deployment in machine learning?

    Deployment in machine learning refers to taking a trained machine learning model prototype and making it operational on a publicly accessible URL, so that it can be used to make predictions or generate insights in real-world applications.

    How do you deploy a machine learning system?

    Deploying a machine learning system involves a unique set of software engineering and MLOps skillsets. In the AI300 course, you will learn the best practices of leveraging tools like Git, IDEs, Docker. You will also learn to build a simple web application in Flask and deploy it to Amazon Web Services (AWS).

    Is there any form of certification upon completing the course?
    How do you deploy machine learning models as API?
    Frameworks like Flask, FastAPI, or Django can be used when deploying machine learning models as APIs. You would typically wrap the trained model into a RESTful API and define your endpoints so that your users can use the API to make predictions. AI300 trainees will get the opportunity to deploy their own Flask APIs as part of their AI300 capstone projects.
    How do you deploy multiple machine learning models?
    To deploy multiple machine learning models, you can use techniques such as model stacking or ensemble methods.
    How do I deploy a machine learning model via GitHub?
    To deploy a machine learning model on GitHub, you can use GitHub Pages or GitHub Actions.
    For payment could I make a deposit first, and complete the payment closer to the course’s commencement date?
    I am keen on your class but can’t make it for one session. Is there a makeup class?
    Makeups On Case By Case Evaluation

    We strongly advocate for full attendance among students, yet we recognize that severe unforeseen events may occur. We will grant such students a one-time accommodation to attend a makeup session or a live stream of the recorded class.

    For Learners Intending To Use Subsidies

    If you are planning on using any subsidies (e.g. UTAP, IBF, SkillsFuture Credits), do note that these subsidies require learners to have at least 75% class attendance before you are eligible for subsidies.

    Any difference between Windows and macOS laptops for students? Is one preferred?
    Device Advice

    Both Windows and Mac operating systems are suitable options, as previous students have successfully used them without significant problems. Approximately two weeks prior to the commencement of the course, we will distribute a detailed installation manual that includes tailored guidelines for both Mac and Windows users. Additionally, we recommend that students consider utilising external monitors for a more comfortable learning experience.

    Will students be provided recorded sessions to revise the weekly lectures?
    Lesson Recordings Are Provided

    You are welcome to use the lesson recordings and materials for reference whenever you need a review of a particular lesson. Our Heicoders curriculum team takes great pride in documenting the class content thoroughly, so feel free to go through the lesson materials at your own pace. You could always reach out to your Teaching Assistants as well if you have questions outside of class.

    I just registered for the course and am a NTUC Union member. How do I apply for the UTAP subsidy?
    Instructions

    The UTAP subsidy is disbursed by NTUC to eligible students on a reimbursement basis. After completing the course, Heicoders students can then apply on the NTUC website for reimbursement, and upon approval they would usually receive a direct deposit from NTUC to their bank accounts within two to three weeks. You may find more details on the eligibility requirements and claims process on this NTUC UTAP website. On Heicoders’ end, we provide a PDF step-by-step guide on how to submit the claim to all students at the end of the course.
