Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Students can formalize applications as ML problems and solve them using basic ML methods.
Students understand the concept of generalization and how to analyse it using simple probabilistic models.
Students are familiar with linear models for regression and classification.
Students know how basic ML methods are obtained as combinations of particular choices for data representation (features), hypothesis space (model) and loss function.
Students are familiar with the idea of hard and soft clustering methods.
Students understand the basic idea of feature learning methods
