Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course presents basic methods used in the areas of classification, clustering and discrimination. Rather than on classical statistical procedures, the focus is on modern techniques of machine learning which also enable applications to “big data” and business analytics. In particular, supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms are discussed, decision tree techniques are introduced, neural network methodology is outlined, and diverse clustering algorithms are presented.

Assessment and permitted materials

The participants get exercises, some of which are to be solved theoretically, while others require programming or application of software. The latter type of exercises can also be handled by groups of participants.
There will be two evaluations: midterm and final exams.
The final grade will be computed as follows:
max{0.2Exercises+0.4Midterm+0.4Final, 0.5Midterm+0.5Final}

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The presentation of the solution to a standard theoretical exercise yields one point; the number of points obtained from exercises requiring programming is to be agreed upon from case to case.

Examination topics

There will be two evaluations: midterm and final exams.
The final grade will be computed as follows:
max{0.2Exercises+0.4Midterm+0.4Final, 0.5Midterm+0.5Final}
