Description

Machine learning (ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computers use in order to perform a specific task effectively without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence. This course will cover advanced topics in machine learning such as deep learning including CNNs, RNNs, GANs, Transformers, Deep clustering, transfer learning, domain adaptation, few-shot learning, zero-shot learning, self-supervised learning and Interpretability of ML methods. The format of the course will be a mix of lectures and paper presentations.
