Louvain-la-Neuve
|
| Prerequisites |
Basic knowledge in Probability, Statistics and Algorithmics (as provided by the courses BIR1203, BIR1304 and SINF1121)
|
| Main themes |
- Learning as search, inductive bias
- Combinations of decisions
- Loss function minimization, gradient descent
- Performance assessment
- Instance-based learning
- Probabilistic learning
- Unsupervised classification
|
| Aims |
Students completing successfully this course will be able to:
- understand and apply standard techniques to build computer programs that automatically improve with experience, especially for classification problems
- assess the quality of a learned model for a given task
- assess the relative performance of several learning algorithms
- justify the use of a particular learning algorithm given the nature of the data, the learning problem and a relevant performance measure
- use, adapt and extend learning software
Students will have developed skills and operational methodology. In particular, they have developed their ability to:
- use the technical documentation to make efficient use of existing packages,
- communicate test results in a short report using graphics.
|
| Evaluation methods |
- 25 % assignments (the 4 mini projects)
- 75 % final exam
The miniprojects may not be remake during the 2nd session and the 25% are allready fixed at the end of Q1.
|
| Teaching methods |
- Lectures

| Bibliography |
The mandatory material for this course is defined as the set of documents and slides made available on the icampus website, together with the oral communications and talks given during the weekly lectures. A copy of the lecture slides is the only material that can be consulted during the final examination.
