- Transparencies are available on the learning platform.
- Knowledge and insight
The student is acquainted with a range of basic learning algorithms.
The student is capable of applying evaluation techniques to estimate the performance of the obtained model and to calculate the performance of an algorithm given a concrete application context using computational learning theory.
- The use of knowledge and insight:
He is able to choose the appropriate techniques given a concrete learning problem, to apply them correctly and to evaluate the obtained results.
- Judgement ability
The student must be able to to devise and sustain arguments in favor or against some choice of learning technique for a given problem.
- Communication
He/she can motivate the chosen approach to specialist and non specialists.
- Skills
Students have obtained the skills to autonomously program, analyse, and apply learning techniques to a wide variety of problems.
