Introduction to Machine L…

With the increased availability of data from varied


sources there has been increasing attention paid to the
various data driven disciplines such as analytics and
machine learning. In this course we intend to introduce
some of the basic concepts of machine learning from a
mathematically well motivated perspective. We will
cover the different learning paradigms and some of the
more popular algorithms and architectures used in each
of these paradigms.

INTENDED AUDIENCE : This is an elective course.


Intended for senior UG/PG students. BE/ME/MS/PhD
PREREQUISITES : We will assume that the students
know programming for some of the assignments.If the
students have done
introductory courses on probability theory and linear
algebra it would be helpful. We will review some of the
basic
topics in the first two weeks as well.
INDUSTRY SUPPORT : Any company in the data
analytics/data science/big data domain would value this
course.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you


want a certificate, you have to register and write the
proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the
designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one

published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned
then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities
where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree
to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8


assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in
the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam
score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY
