This module is not approved as an Elective
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
• list the principal algorithms used in machine learning, and derive their update rules
• appreciate the capabilities and limitations of current approaches;
• evaluate the performance of machine learning algorithms;
• use existing implementation(s) of machine learning algorithms to explore data sets and build models.
Topics selected from:
Neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, Bayesian learning, instance-based learning, linear regression, clustering, reinforcement learning, deep learning.
Methods for evaluating performance.
Examples will be drawn from simple problems that arise in studies of robotics and computer vision.
