OVERVIEW

In the information age any system or device generates some form of data for diagnostic purposes or analysis.
he course details the techniques for analyzing data in order to extract useful information and knowledge for decision making.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students will be provided with advanced skills related to machine learning and data analysis. Students will learn insights on machine learning and data analysis methodologies and a series of real world applications.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will be able to apply the acquired skills to a case study by deriving the model of the phenomenon that generated the data under analysis.

During the course the following skills will be developed
- personal competence
- social competence
- ability to learn to learn
- competence in project creation
- competence in project management

PREREQUISITES

Coding (Matlab/Python/R), linear algebra, probability and statistics.

TEACHING METHODS

- Frontal lesson (approx. 50% to develop ability to learn to learn)
- Laboratories (approx. 50% to develop personal competence)
- Possibility of a final project in pairs (to develop social competence, competence in project creation, and competence in project management)

For working students and students with certification of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), disabilities, or other special educational needs are advised to contact the instructor at the beginning of the course to arrange teaching and examination methods that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning styles.
