Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
In the subject we introduce advanced concepts in machine learning. In the first part, we concentrate of nonlinear classification and regression methods. While in the second part, we will focus on advanced topics of non-supervised learning. In the last part of the course, we will cover transfer learning and multitask learning. PART 1: Nonlinear classification and regression Kernel methods Ensemble methods (boosting y random forests) Gaussian Processes for classification and regression PARTE 2: Unsupervised Learning Introduction to graphical models Latent variable models Bayesian nonparametrics PARTE 3: Multi-task learning Transfer learning
Learning activities and methodology
Learning activities: AF1: THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. They will present the knowledge that students should acquire. They will receive the class notes and will have basic texts of reference to facilitate the follow-up of the classes and the development of the subsequent work. Exercises, practical problems on the part of the student will be solved and workshops and evaluation test will be held to acquire the necessary skills. AF2: Updated to allegation AF3: INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP WORK OF THE STUDENT. AF9: FINAL EXAM. In which the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired throughout the course will be assessed globally. Learning methodology: MD1: CLASS THEORY. Exhibitions in the teacher's class with support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the materials and bibliography are provided to complement the students' learning. MD2: PRACTICES. Resolution of practical cases, problems, etc. raised by the teacher individually or in groups. MD3: TUTORING. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or group (collective tutorials) to students by the teacher.
