In this coursework we give a non-exhaustive overview of the basic principles of machine learning. In several classes we cover topics like, bias/variance trade off, simple linear regression and classification, cross validation and bootstrapping, unsupervised methods, feature selection methods, splines, random forests, and support vector machines. The theory is applied on a Kaggle competition. The course aims at junior level data scientists. Notion of programming and mathematics/statistics is mandatory.
- A framework for machine learning
- Simple supervised methods: Linear regression and Classification
- Resampling methods, Model selection and Regularization
- Moving beyond simple supervised methods:
- Regression splines
- Local regression
- Generalized additive models
- Tree-based method
- Support Vector Machines
- Unsupervised techniques

|
| Conditions | A student must at least attend all components of the evaluation.
A student must obtain a tolerable exam result (≥8/20) for each component to be able to pass the programme component. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If a student does not attend one of the evaluation components, he/she will receive an 'X' for the programme component.
If the student achieves less than 8/20 in part of this programme component, this lowest partial grade will be the final grade for the entire programme component for the examination opportunity concerned. |
