Machine learning is no longer in the future - it is here and now. With an education in Applied Machine Learning, you gain highly sought-after expertise.
Noroff offers a one-year online program in Applied Machine Learning, a technological field in enormous and continuous development. The knowledge and skills the program provides make you an attractive candidate for jobs in machine learning and artificial intelligence, allowing you to enter the workforce directly after completing your education. We spoke with the course leader, Bertram Haskins, who provides insight into what the course entails and the career opportunities it offers.
– Applied machine learning is a field within artificial intelligence (AI) where existing software tools are used to create data-based models that can perform various tasks. Most of what you see in the news often referred to as artificial intelligence is actually examples of machine learning, says Bertram.
Machine learning is a fundamental part of artificial intelligence that involves teaching systems how to generate new insights from existing data. The goal is to enable the system to identify patterns without further programming, making this approach highly valuable for businesses.
