Abstract
The purpose of mastering the discipline is to familiarize students with the theoretical foundations and basic principles of machine learning, mastery tools, models and methods of machine learning, as well as the acquisition of skills as a data scientist and developer of mathematical models, methods and algorithms for data analysis. To master the discipline students must know linear algebra and geometry, basics of programming, differential equations and theory of probability and mathematical statistics.
Learning Objectives
- The goal of mastering the discipline "Machine Learning" is to develop students 'theoretical knowledge and practical skills on the basics of machine learning, mastering students' tools, models and methods of machine learning, as well as acquiring the skills of a data scientist and developer of mathematical models, methods and analysis algorithms data.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Knows and knows how to work with various types of regressions. Conducts an analysis. Knows ensemble methods, stochastic search and algorithms
- Knows rules and quality analysis; ROC curve analysis; algorithm for constructing decision trees; informational gain criterion and Gini criterion; forests of decisive trees. Knows transition to space of increased dimension; support vector method. Knows what is: logistic regression; gradient descent; neural networks and gradient backpropagation algorithm.
- Knows the subject and tasks of machine learning and data analysis; basic principles, tasks and approaches, use in various fields of science and industry; the main stages of the evolution of machine learning algorithms. He knows the general form of the metric classifier, selection algorithms, clustering algorithms with a fixed number of clusters, density clustering algorithms, hierarchical clustering.
