Content

The course will give the student an introduction to and a basic knowledge on Machine Learning (ML) and its use in various parts of data analysis. The focus will be on application through examples and use of computers, and be project based.

The course will cover the following subjects:
•Introduction to Machine Learning
•Types of problems suitable for ML and their typical solutions.
•Types of problems not suitable for ML
•Classification and Regression
•Supervised vs. Unsupervised training
•Dimensionality Reduction
•ML performance
•Big Data management and data access

 

The course is identical to NFYK18000U Big Data Analysis. It is not allowed to pass both courses.

Learning outcome
Skills

The student should in the course obtain the following skills:
•Understand the use of ML in data analysis
•Use ML on a given (suitable) dataset
•Be able to optimise the performance of the ML algorithm
•Be capable of quantifying and comparing ML performances

Knowledge

The student will obtain knowledge about ML concepts and procedures, more specifically:
•The fundamental methods used in ML.
•Various Cost-Functions and Goodness measures.
•The most commonly used ML algorithms.

Competences

This course will provide the students with an understanding of ML methods and knowledge of (structured) data analysis with ML, which enables them to analyse data using ML in science and beyond. The students should be capable of handling data sparcity, non-uniformities, and categorical data.
