Inhalt Machine learning has become one of the core pillars of information technology. Since the amount of available data is steadily increasing, smart data analysis will become more and more important in the future. This course introduces (supervised) machine learning techniques in a hands-on way with integrated exercises. The distinction between supervised/unsupervised/reinforcement learning, sampling and cross-validation, performance evaluation, logistic regression, decision trees, random forest, support vector, machines, deep learning, and ensemble methods are among the topics to be discussed in this course. This class is a lecture with integrated exercises. For every session, you are required to bring your laptop (with the latest version of your operating system installed). We do only require basic knowledge of R (e.g., how to load a CSV file and install a package). Further, we do require the willingness to actively participate and contribute to the class.
Lernziele (1) Get familiar with the concept of (supervised) machine learning.
(2) Understand the basic theory behind various machine learning techniques.
(3) Apply different machine learning techniques and interpret the results.
Voraussetzungen (1) Bring a laptop (with the latest operating system version installed).
(2) Updated installation of R (https://cran.r-project.org/).
(3) Updated installation of Rstudio (https://www.rstudio.com/).
(4) Basic knowledge in R (e.g., how to load a CSV file and how to install a package).
