Discover the creative side of machine learning with this free course using hands-on examples.

Explore how machine learning is revolutionising the creative industries

From photography to music, creative AI is changing the way we interact with technology.

On this course, you’ll learn the core concepts of what machine learning is, and how machine learning works. You’ll learn how to build simple classification systems that can discriminate between different types of information and regressions systems that can map interactions onto different outputs, like sliders on a synthesiser.

You’ll explore the full extent of machine learning systems’ abilities, specifically in relation to the creative industries.

What topics will you cover?

  • Basic JavaScript (via a provided crash course as additional content).
  • What machine learning is.
  • What creative machine learning is.
  • How to create simple machine learning systems in javascript.
  • How to better understand core concepts in machine learning.
  • Understanding classification.
  • Understanding regression.

When would you like to start?

Most FutureLearn courses run multiple times. Every run of a course has a set start date but you can join it and work through it after it starts. 

  • Available now

What will you achieve?

By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to:

  • Describe what machine learning is and what kinds of interactive systems can be used to build.
  • Collect and modify your own datasets to build machine learning models.
  • Discuss the applications and limitations of classification and regression models in machine learning.
  • Design and demonstrate creative machine learning projects using JavaScript.
  • Evaluate current uses of artificial intelligence in art, music and the creative industries.

Who is the course for?

This course is aimed at people who would like to work in the creative industries and want to know how machine learning can be used in that context. The course is also valuable for students considering a master’s degree in creative computing and want to know what it would involve, or people wanting to become a machine learning engineer in general.
