FYS-2021 Machine Learning - 10 stp
The course is administrated by
Institutt for fysikk og teknologi
Type of course
The course is available as a singular course. The course is also available to exchange students and Fulbright students.
Course contents
The course will introduce the students to the fundamental concepts in machine learning and will study widely used and popular machine learning algorithms for analysing data in the modern society. The course will cover elementary methods for both supervised and unsupervised learning, both for regression and classification. Supervised methods will include technologies such as decision trees, linear discrimination and neural networks. TUnsupervised methods covered will include machine learning methods based on linear algebra as well as standard clustering methods. The course will have a significant practical component, in which various applications will be treated in the form of case studies.
