Large Language Models with Semantic Search
Keyword search has been a common method for search for many years. But for content-rich websites like news media sites or online shopping platforms, the keyword search capability can be limiting. Incorporating large language models (LLMs) into your search can significantly enhance the user experience by allowing them to ask questions and find information in a much easier way. This course teaches the techniques needed to leverage LLMs into search. Throughout the lessons, you’ll explore key concepts like dense retrieval, which elevates the relevance of retrieved information, leading to improved search results beyond traditional keyword search, and reranking, which injects the intelligence of LLMs into your search system, making it faster and more effective.

Álgebra básica
Galileo dijo: "El Universo está escrito en lenguaje matemático y los caracteres son triángulos, círculos y otras figuras geométricas, sin las que es humanamente imposible entender una sola palabra". Para entender el Universo, es necesario plantear leyes que expliquen su comportamiento, como pueden ser las leyes de la gravedad, la propagación del calor, el electromagnetismo, la reproducción celular, el crecimiento poblacional, la propagación de las enfermedades, la variación de los precios de las acciones en la bolsa de valores, el comportamiento de las masas ante un conflicto, etcétera. Todas estas leyes se plantean utilizando ecuaciones, algunas muy sencillas, otras no tanto. Para poder aplicar estas ecuaciones para resolver problemas, es necesario manipularlas siguiendo ciertas reglas que nos da el álgebra. Piensa en el álgebra como la gramática, que nos dice cómo traducir nuestras ideas al lenguaje, cómo formar frases y oraciones a partir de palabras, cómo conjugar verbos, a identificar las partes de una oración, las reglas de acentuación, etcétera. En este curso, ofrecido por la UNAM, aprenderás a construir expresiones algebraicas a partir de frases, lo que te permitirá resolver problemas en los que conoces algunos datos numéricos y necesitas encontrar otros. Podrás plantear y resolver ecuaciones de primer grado, ecuaciones simultáneas y ecuaciones de segundo grado. Este curso te va a ser muy útil si actualmente estas llevando un curso de álgebra en la escuela y tienes problemas con él. También si ya has estudiado álgebra y necesitas repasarla, ya que necesitas recordarla para tener éxito en otros cursos más avanzados, como Geometría Analítica, Cálculo o Estadística.

Applying Data Analytics in Accounting
This course explores how modern technologies are transforming accounting practice. We begin with a survey of accounting fundamentals and emerging analytics topics, including process mining, text analysis, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. Next, we move into visualization, summarization, and filtering techniques for control testing and auditing, using tools like Python and Pandas to analyze and interpret accounting data. We then explore automation in accounting—from generating invoices programmatically to building dashboards from SQL databases—while introducing the spectrum of automation from basic scripts to intelligent agents. Finally, we focus on data governance, covering core principles, lifecycle management, and frameworks like COSO and COBIT, paired with hands-on exercises using SQL and Git to enforce data quality and maintain an audit trail.

Be a Leader, Develop a Leader
The objectives of this MOOC are to enable you to learn from applying concepts, exercises and learning from the four other MOOCs in this specialization. Learners involved in our programs over the decades have repeatedly told us that going over the material several times helps them progressively delve into the meaning and application of the ideas and experiences. As a result, we have designed this capstone so that it would be the third iteration of working with the ideas and experiences about effective leadership and inspiring its development in others. The first iteration was during one of the other MOOCs in terms of the videos, readings, Forum chats and reflective exercises. The second iteration was doing one of the personal learning or action learning assignments in one of the MOOCs that involved talking to others and writing an essay about the experience. If you had not done the Action learning assignment, then one of the two projects for this MOOC would involve doing it. The third is reviewing and revising your analysis of the experience as the Capstone project to show evidence that you can Be a Leader and help another Develop as a Leader.
