The course provides knowledge of machine learning algorithms for classification, clustering, and regression problems. Candidates learn methods for improving the accuracy of the machine learning models and to further problem-solving practical and theoretical computational issues. The course also provides skills to study machine learning models to evaluate and optimise the application.
This course is relevant to the program because it will teach the students how to choose and apply the appropriate machine learning algorithm and tools to any given data-driven real-world problem. Also, students will acquire hands-on experience designing machine learning tools for industrial applications.
The candidate:
- has knowledge of processes and tools that are used to create machine learning algorithms
- has knowledge of concepts, processes and tools that are used to compare machine learning algorithms
- has insight into relevant regulations, standards and principles governing machine learning and computational intelligence
- can update his/her knowledge about existing machine learning computational models
The candidate:
- can apply knowledge of problem-solving to practical and theoretical computational problems
- masters tools and techniques related to machine learning algorithms
- masters tools and techniques to prepare data for machine learning applications
- can find information and material that is relevant to machine learning algorithms and technologies
- can study machine learning models and identify issues and evaluate the results
The candidate:
- has developed an understanding of the importance and relevance of machine learning and its applications
- can carry out machine learning projects through planning, implementation, evaluation and presentation of the outcomes
- can develop work methods based on the application of machine learning to given situations
Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
