Sustainable Development Goals
- 1 Description
-
This program provides an educational introduction to Machine Learning, starting from the basic prerequisite knowledge. The main goal of the program is to equip the learner with a solid foundation and a strong toolset for their professional development. The first part of the program includes acquiring basic skills such as computer programming and data preprocessing. The tools used to build these skills is Python and its scientific ecosystem. Additionally, a solid mathematical background is also essential as it forms the basis for all Machine Learning Algorithms. In the second part of the program, the trainees become familiar with two fundamental axes of the field: Supervised Learning and Unsupervised Learning. The course contains heavily interactive online lab sessions, as well as regular programming assignments.
Target group
Graduates of Departments of Mathematics, Science or Engineering.

This online seminar is aimed at Science and Engineering graduates. Its duration is 8 months and consists of four units:
1. Python Programming
2. Python & Data
3. Supervised Learning
4. Unsupervised Learning
The flow of the educational process consists of asynchronous study spanning over two weeks approximately, followed by a three-hour remote synchronous workshop (via Zoom). The workshops have strong interaction with active participation of all trainees. The attendance of the trainees in the workshops is mandatory.
The first introductory meeting will be held on Tuesday 1st, October 2024, at 7 pm.
At the end of each unit, a mandatory programming assignment will be submitted.
