Aim:
The overall aim of the course is to provide an introduction to machine learning, with special focus on regression and classification problems. Machine learning is presented from a probabilistic perspective with inference and prediction based on probability models. The course aims to give students an overview of machine learning within a unified framework and a good basis for further studies in the field.
After completing the course the student should be able to:
- use relevant concepts and methods in machine learning to formulate, structure and solve practical problems.
- infer the parameters in a number of common machine learning models.
- use machine learning models for prediction and decision making.
- evaluate and choose among models.
- implement machine learning models and algorithms in a programming language.
