Machine learning studies how computers can autonomously learn from available data, without being explicitly programmed. The ‘information revolution’ has generated large amounts of data, but valuable information is often hidden and hence unusable. The module will provide a solid foundation to machine learning and advanced data analysis. It will give an overview of the core concepts, methods, and algorithms for analysing and learning from data. The emphasis will be on the underlying theoretical foundations, illustrated through a set of methods widely used in practice. This will provide the student with a good understanding of how, why and when do various modern machine learning and data analysis methods work. In this module, I work as teaching assistant to help student understand the course in weekly Q&A meeting and help to mark the courseworks.
