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
Must have the competency to:
- solve machine learning related problems in a practical
context.
- apply machine learning algorithms and analyse the
results
