CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    This course introduces some of the most widely used machine-learning methods such as regression, classification, feature learning and clustering. We will discuss ML in a hands-on fashion using coding assignments, in which we implement ML methods in the Python programming language. The course is organized in six rounds: introduction, regression, classification, model validation and selection, clustering and dimensionality reduction. Each round covers a certain part of the course book and includes a Python notebook with a coding assignment.
