Master's programme Computer Science 2021W |
| Objectives |
Participants will obtain an overview of standard methods in the fields of pattern classification, machine learning, and statistical data modelling. The focus of the class will very much be on application-oriented issues: students will learn the basic concepts and methods in the field, and understand what is involved when applying these methods to complex classification and recognition problems. To this end, the accompanying exercise class (UE) will permit student to experiment with learning and classification algorithms in a complex, non-trivial real-world application problem.
