This course teaches you how to evaluate and optimize machine learning models for reliable performance on edge devices. You’ll learn how to move beyond overall accuracy by analyzing model behavior across meaningful data slices—such as device type or environmental conditions—to uncover hidden robustness and fairness issues.
You’ll also explore how models are optimized for edge deployment using TensorFlow Lite, including how quantization affects model size, inference speed, and accuracy. Through videos, hands-on activities, and guided reflection, you’ll practice interpreting these trade-offs and communicating deployment readiness clearly. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to assess slice-level performance gaps, evaluate optimization outcomes, and make informed decisions about deploying models in real-world edge environments.

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.
