Kursbeskrivning
Machine learning and AI
During this course we learn how to train different kinds of machine learning models and how to evaluate the predictive performance of them. We will also discuss how modern AI systems work and build models for analysing text and images.
Machine learning models are used to make predictions, for instance to diagnose diseases or predict future stock prices. In this course we learn how to train different kinds of machine learning models, including random forest and lasso regression, and how to evaluate the predictive performance of our models. In addition, we learn about how to deal with common challenges in machine learning projects, such as missing data and imbalanced data.
Modern AI systems use machine learning models known as deep neural networks. During the second day of this course, we learn how these work, and build models for analysing text and images. We also learn about common pitfalls and the limitations of present-day AI.
