Course overview
Increasingly, organisations need to analyse enormous data sets to determine useful structures in them. In response to this, a range of statistical and machine learning methods have been developed in recent times. This course covers the key techniques in data mining and machine learning with theoretical background and applications. The topics include methods such as linear and logistic regression, neural networks, Bayesian neural networks, clustering and dimensionality reduction, ensemble learning, and also provides an introduction to deep learning. Emerging machine learning tools and libraries are used to illustrate the methods in programming environments that includes Python and R.
The course is recommended by the professional association of data miners, the聽.
