Contents
Machine learning and data mining methods are central to current research in intelligent systems and are already being used in a variety of practical applications.
Content: introduction and basic concepts, data preprocessing, statistical learning, case-based learning, decision trees, support vector machines, classifier ensembles, empirical evaluation of learning methods.
Qualification Goals
Students will be able to,
- understand basic issues and goals of machine learning,
- deal with special classes of problems, such as supervised learning (classification and regression),
- use important machine learning methods and their scalable implementations,
- apply concepts for the evaluation of learning methods
- solve practical problems independently using machine learning methods,
- to proceed according to scientific working methods (recognizing, formulating, solving problems, abstraction)
- Speak freely about scientific content, both in front of an audience and in a discussion.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following module are recommended: Introduction to Statistics.
