  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim is that students after passing the course will be able to design and apply artificial neural networks and similar methods for signal, image and data analysis that learn from previous experience and data. Students will also be able to apply such methods to find meaningful relations in multidimensional signals where the degree of complexity makes traditional model-based methods unsuitable or impossible to use.

Specifically, students should be able to:
  • Explain the difference between particular learning paradigms
  • Implement and use common methods in those paradigms
  • Select an appropriate method for solving a given problem


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Requisite: Linear algebra, multivariable calculus, mathematical statistics.
Recommended: Signal theory, programming (Matlab).


Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures, lessons, assignments with mandatory written reports

Course contents:
Machine learning, classification, pattern recognition and high-dimensional data analysis. Supervised learning: neural networks, linear discriminants, support vector machines, ensemble learning, boosting. Unsupervised learning: patterns in high-dimensional data, dimensionality reduction, clustering, principal component analysis, independent component analysis. Reinforcement learning: Markov models, Q-learning.
