Course Description

This course aims to provide students with an introduction to Machine Learning (supervised and unsupervised). Design and implement algorithm used for classification and regression. In this course students will learn how Design and implement algorithms used in supervised and unsupervised learning, how to build systems that learn and adapt using examples from real-world applications. The course will cover main algoriths for regression, classification, and clustering. Topics include Classification, CNN's, Linear and logistic regression, regularization, cross validation, nueral networks, etc. Matlab programming and apps will be extensively used and also Python programming language.

Course Objectives
  • Understand the concept of machine learning.
  • Understand the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning.
  • Understand the difference between machine learing and deep learning.
  • Design and evaluate machine and deep learning algorithms.
  • Evaluation of algorithms.
  • Improve Programming skills in Matlab and python.
Intended learning Outcomes and Competences
  • Develop an appreciation for what is involved in Learning from data
