Introduction to machine learning for bioengineers
Summary
Students understand basic concepts and methods of machine learning. They can describe them in mathematical terms and can apply them to data using a high-level programming language (julia/python/R).
Content
- Basic concepts of machine learning
- Linear Regression
- Classification
- Resampling methods and cross-validation
- Linear Model Selection and Regularization
- Moving Beyond Linearity
- Artificial Neural Networks (Deep Learning)
- Tree-Based Methods
- Unsupervised Learning
- Basics of Reinforcement Learning
- Some state-of-the-art machine learning tools for life sciences
- Data Analysis and Machine Learning with a high-level programming language (julia)
Learning Prerequisites
