Learning outcomes

At the end of this module the student:
  • the student can analyse a data analysis task and compare features to evaluate their fitness for the machine learning task at hand.
  • the student can evaluate whether a data analysis task requires dimensionality reduction, blind source separation, cluster analysis or classification.
  • the student can interpret high dimensional data using dimensionality reduction techniques such as principal component analysis.
  • the student can interpret multi-sensor data:
    • using blind source separation techniques like independent component analysis.
    • using cluster analysis techniques like hierarchical agglomerative clustering and k-means.
    • using classification algorithms like support vector machines.
  • the student can apply anomaly detection on a stream of sensor data.

Content

The course covers the following topics:
machine learning overview, dimensionality reduction, blind source separation, cluster analysis or classification, coverage plot, confusion matrix, cost functions.
