Course objectives
The goal of this subject is to teach students state of the art techniques in the field of ML/AI. Students will:
* understand selected algorithms at high level
* apply them to real problems in the selected field
On the basis of obtained knowledge, students will be able to prepare data, propose solutions and evaluate the quality of the created models.
The subject is not primarily suitable for students who want to master individual algorithms but is especially suitable for those who wish to apply those techniques in fields other than informatics.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to apply relevant techniques in ML/AI. Student will have the basic knowledge of applying ML/AI in problems where structured data, free text, images or time series forecasting is usable. Student will know how to qualitatively evaluate results using existing metrics.
