Everyone knows data is essential, but society still needs to gain the skills and tools to understand large datasets. Humans and AI applications are producing more data than ever, so it becomes more important to process the data and draw the right conclusion by understanding the limitations of your models.
This master class will give participants an understanding of these technologies and apply the knowledge and learning experience to design and develop machine learning techniques specific to real-world datasets. The course also focuses on advanced Machine Learning techniques drawn from the hands-on research experience of the presenters.
Topics covered include:
- Introduction to machine learning: This will be a hands-on guide on dealing with data for a typical machine learning pipeline, plus advanced skills required to process data effectively.
- Computer vision and applications: Focus on the latest advancements in computer vision and understand how all these techniques can be applied to various applications, including healthcare.
- Text data: To process text data efficiently and understand the basics of text data analysis.
- Data learning: To approach using data assimilation techniques integrated with machine learning to solve complex data-driven problems.
Live classes will be delivered on weekdays.
Project work will be done through team-based learning and tutorials. Final projects will be presented in groups on the last day of the programme. A prize will be awarded to the team with the best project.
The programme will be delivered over Microsoft Teams. Online project channels will be allocated to each team for project work. Students will be able to use the channel at any time to work on their project.
The entire programme will be taught in English.
