Machine Learning

Module 934G5

Module details for 2022/23.

15 credits

FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)

Module Outline

This module will equip students with knowledge and practical experience for building and evaluating machine learning models. The module will cover multiple learning categories including supervised learning, and a variety of algorithms will be covered (both traditional approaches and those that are state of the art, e.g. advanced neural networks). The module will involve exploring the mathematics behind each algorithm as well as hands-on work (with software libraries) on real data.

Module learning outcomes

Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of key aspects of machine learning and standard methods

Show awareness of relevant issues and current challenges in machine learning

Systematically and creatively build and evaluate machine learning models

Act autonomously in preparing data appropriately to address a given problem, selecting the most suitable techniques to address the problem, and communicating valid rationale for choices made
