Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

This course deals with how to process and draw conclusions of data through data mining and machine learning.  The course introduces some theory on machine learning, but focuses mainly on current applied methods.

The following is included in the course:

•Statistical and probabilistic methods for data analysis.

•Different methods for data mining.

•Algorithms for supervised and unsupervised machine learning.

•Neural networks and deep learning.

•Data extraction: purpose and typical use cases in performance analysis.

•Routines for importing, combining, converting and selecting data for learning and validation.

•Validation methods and performance measures.

•Visualization and analysis of results from data analysis.

•Ethics and regulations concerning use and processing of personal data.

Intended learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to:

•apply methods to import, combine and convert data into the appropriate format for data analysis, 

•explain the benefits of data mining and be able to choose and implement appropriate methods in typical data mining use cases,

•choose, motivate, and apply standard machine learning methods and algorithms to typical use cases and present the results in appropriate ways

•design and perform performance validation of a machine learning system

•give an account on ethics and regulations when using and processing personal data.
