                      | Objectives | Students will learn, in a practical, exploratory way, what it means to apply standard machine learning algorithms to real-world problems, by experimenting with learning and classification algorithms in a non-trivial application task. This will give them a critical understanding of the complexity of real-world learning, the methodology of systematic experimentation, critical evaluation of results, and possible pitfalls. | 
                      
                    
                      | Subject | Using public machine learning toolboxes, students will go through all the stages of a pattern classification project of real-world complexity, from annotation, feature definition and extraction to the training of various classifiers and systematic experimentation. | 
                                                            
                    
                      | Criteria for evaluation | Several written project reports throughout the course of the project. |
