Machine Learning

2020/2021

Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

The module is offered jointly with the MSc programme in Innovative Communication Technologies and Entrepreneurship (ICTE). It builds on mathematical knowledge obtained in the bachelor courses “Linear Algebra” and “Introduction to Probability and Applied Statistics“ (bachelor in IT, Communication and New Media), or similar.

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Must have knowledge about:

  • data modelling in form of preparing data, modelling data, and evaluating and disseminating the results.
  • key machine learning concepts such as feature extraction, cross-validation, generalization and over-fitting, prediction and curse of dimensionality.
  • different machine learning principles, algorithms, techniques and be able to define and describe fundamental problems and consequences within machine learning.
  • basic recommender system principles, techniques, algorithms and be able to define and describe fundamental problems and consequences within these.

Skills

Must be able to:

  • discuss how the data modelling methods work and describe their assumptions and limitations.
  • map practical problems to standard data models such as regression, classification, density estimation, clustering and association mining.
  • select and apply a range of different machine learning algorithms and techniques on specific problems.
  • select and apply the basic recommender system algorithms and techniques on specific problems 

OR 

  • select and apply relevant machine learning algorithms and techniques for detection of cyber attacks or anomalous behaviour in cyber systems

Competences
