Surviving Disruptive Technologies (On Demand)
The purpose of this course is to help individuals and organizations survive when confronted with disruptive technologies that threaten their current way of life. We will look at a general model of survival and use it to analyze companies and industries that have failed or are close to failing. Examples of companies that have not survived include Kodak, a firm over 100 years old, Blockbuster and Borders. It is likely that each of us has done business with all of these firms, and today Kodak and Blockbuster are in bankruptcy and Borders has been liquidated. Disruptions are impacting industries like education; Coursera and others offering these massive open online courses are a challenge for Universities. In addition to firms that have failed, we will look at some that have survived and are doing well. What are their strategies for survival? By highlighting the reasons for the decline of firms and industries, participants can begin to understand how to keep the same thing from happening to them. Through the study of successful organizations, we will try to tease out approaches to disruptions that actually work. Our ultimate objective is to develop a strategy for survival in a world confronting one disruptive technology after another.

Master ANN Search
Master ANN Search is an intermediate-level course designed for machine learning engineers and AI practitioners tasked with building high-speed, large-scale vector search systems. As datasets grow into the millions, traditional brute-force search methods become impossibly slow. This course provides the practical skills to overcome this challenge using Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) algorithms. You will get hands-on experience implementing industry-standard libraries like FAISS and Annoy to build and prototype powerful vector indexes. Through a series of expert-led videos, readings, and ungraded labs, you will move beyond basic implementation to master the art of performance evaluation. You will learn to measure and analyze the critical trade-off between retrieval accuracy (recall) and speed (latency), benchmarking your solutions against brute-force search to quantify their effectiveness. The course culminates in a final project where you will optimize an index for a 100k vector dataset, mirroring the real-world job task of balancing performance for applications like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) or recommendation engines. By the end, you’ll be equipped to not just use ANN, but to strategically deploy it. You will need to be familiar with Python programming, data structures, and basic machine learning concepts. Familiarity with vectors is a plus.
