In this module, you will learn basics of the theories behind modern machine learning techniques. During ten three-hour labs, you be asked to implement several key machine learning techniques and apply them to real-world problem, such as predicting house prices, recognition of handwriting, etc. This module can serve as a basis for preparing for a career in modern machine learning – a rapidly growing field of academic and industrial applications.
The module will cover:
· Basics of
probability theory and statistics used in machine learning.
· Linear
regression
· Logistic
regression
· Naïve Bayes
models
· Support
vector machines
· Deep neural
networks
· Hopfield
model
