Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course presents basic and advanced 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. The topics of this course include neural networks, introduction to deep learning, support vector machines, feature selection, and main clustering algorithms.

Assessment and permitted materials

Exercises/projects will include the implementation of basic techniques and comparison/evaluation of discussed techniques on diverse real-life data sets.

There will be one final exam.

The final grade will be computed as follows:
0.5Exercises+0.5FinalExam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

For a positive grade students must obtain at least
- 50% of points and in the final exam and
- 50% of points in exercises.

Examination topics

The whole material discussed in the class is relevant for the final exam.
Exercises will include the implementation of basic techniques and the comparison of discussed techniques on well known data sets in the literature.

Reading list

The literature will include different scientific papers and book chapters.
