IMT6101
- 5 ECTS
Prerequisite(s)
IMT4611 Data Analysis and Statistics or similar level of expertise
Expected learning outcomes
The course offers students a deeper understanding of cutting-edge problems on the theories, methods, and algorithms in machine learning as well as the application of those. Students will strengthen their ability to work with the original scientific literature.
On completion of this course the students will be able to:
- Evaluate and contrast basic techniques and algorithms used in machine learning
- Formulate specific algorithmic requirements for a given problem and propose an appropriate solution
- Predict and judge the performance of a machine learning or data mining method.
