Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

The course provides a practical introduction into machine learning methods applied in computer science using Python programming language.

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

The course combines a set of lectures with home work and a project in which students demonstrate their knowledge of machine learning techniques by applying them to solve some practical problem.

Course content

  • Introduction to machine learning
  • Supervised learning: classification and regression
  • Unsupervised learning: transformation of data and clustering
  • Validation of models
  • Overview of reinforcement learning

Prior knowledge expected

Basics of the probability theory as well as knowledge of R and/or Python is a plus.

After/during the course, please consider visiting also courses providing an in-depth discussion of machine learning techniques: 

  • "Selected Topics in Artificial Intelligence" (623.131) for an in-depth review of reinforcement learning methods,
  • "Selected Topics in Knowledge and Data Engineering: Data Mining" (623.253) for an overview of data acquisition and manipulation methods.
  • "Current Topics in Distributed Multimedia Systems: Video Analysis & Retrieval" (623.915) which among other interesting topics considers various architectures and applications of Deep Neural Networks to image/video processing and recognition
