Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course gives an introduction to the most popular discriminative and differentiable machine learning methods, which are used in supervised learning.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • The student should be able to design and implement a basic machine learning system
Expected Learning Outcomes

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Students know about the basic definitions of machine learning, and the evaluation of their performance.
  • Student knows about basic linear and non-linear classifiers, decision trees, genetic algorithms.
  • The student is familiar with the application independent, theoretical information distance
  • The student becomes familiar with the implementation of deep neural networks. The students gain hands-on experience with implementing deep neural networks in python for real-world applications.
  • The student becomes familiar with the implementation of recurrent, sequential deep neural networks. The students also gain hands-on experience with implementation of deep neural networks in python for real-world applications with sequential data, such as neural machine translation.
  • The student becomes familiar general differentiable architectures
  • The student learns about these basic concepts of machine learning.
