Objective
- Knowledge and skills to understand beyond-basic contemporary machine learning (ML) models and methods, and to choose and apply them in a principled and sound way
- Abilities for understanding connections to, and dependencies between, model/method properties and timely topics (e.g., ethics, sustainability, explainability).
- Abilities to solve a computational problem via machine learning without using a high-level ML application programming interface
Content
- Theory and practice of the beyond-basic contemporary machine learning (ML) models and methods
- Use of suitable tools (e.g., an ML application programming interface enabling both high and low level expression) for building solutions
