With Applied Machine Learning you can teach systems to learn from data. Become attractive to employers and work with AI upon graduation.
Applied Machine Learning is an emerging technology discipline. As branch within artificial intelligence, machine learning focuses on teaching systems how to learn from data. The objective is to enable the system to identify patterns without further programming, making the discipline valuable for companies.
This one-year programme teaches you to make sense of the growing amounts of Big Data. It combines aspects of computer science, software development with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data storage with data manipulation and visualization. Applied Machine Learning provides an increased level of automation which replaces time-consuming human activities through automatic techniques. This allows for improved accuracy and efficiency by discovering and exploiting any regularities in the data.
The programme focuses on practical skills in all aspects of Machine Learning, making you an attractive candidate for companies. The practical work will provide you with competence through professional workflows and pipelines used in the field of Applied Machine Learning.
The programme starts with Problem Based Learning. We then move on to Introduction to Programming, focusing on software design, algorithmic thinking and pseudo code. Next up is Introduction to Data Mining, with focus on pattern discovery, cluster analysis, classification and regression.
The next course is Data Pre-Processing, which touches on data standardization, feature engineering and feature selection for modelling. This course also teaches students to understand data quality issues and skills to link data pre-processing and data, as well as statistical techniques that allow you to prepare and format data in a structured way.
We then move on to Programming for Machine Learning where students learn skills to create code, format and manipulate data and program testing, as well as solving issues within your code. Next up is Computational Intelligence, focusing on machine learning algorithms for classification, clustering, and regression problems. This is where you learn to improve the accuracy of the machine learning models and optimize the application.
The last course is Data Visualisation, which teaches you the strengths and weaknesses of concepts and processes within big data visualisation, and tools and techniques for different data types. The year ends with an Exam Project, where you demonstrate the competence required during the academic year. The project challenges the candidate to find a real-world project to acquire practical experience in a professional setting.
Courses in Applied Machine Learning:
After graduation the candidates possess the following learning outcomes:
The Candidate...
When purchasing a computer, make sure that it meets the following minimum requirements, as this will ensure that it has enough processing power, storage and memory to be able to load data sets and train machine learning models:
Once you start with the program, you will be informed of the specific software you will need to use for each course. In general, however, you should at least have access to the following:
There is a growing need for Machine Learning professionals across the world. Machine Learning can support decision making based on complex datasets. Companies have already begun to implement Machine Learning technology into their businesses in order to increase performance and efficiency thus reducing costs. Candidates are able to work in both national and international companies that require data scientists, software developers and AI engineers.
