Machine Learning (BSc)

People

Alippi C.

Course director

Description

The course will address the following topics: Supervised learning: linear and nonlinear models for regression and prediction, statistical theory of learning, feature extraction and model selection. Deep learning: architectures including autoencoders, convolutional neural networks and learning procedures. Model performance assessment: cross validation, k-fold cross validation, leave-one-out, bootstrap. Unsupervised learning: K-means clustering, fuzzy C-means, principal component analysis.

Objectives

Students will learn how to design linear and nonlinear models for regression, prediction and classification as well as assess their performance in a sound way. At the same time, students will learn how to use deep learning architectures and learning algorithms in key real-world applications.

Teaching mode
