Sub-courses

DIT470 Advanced topics in Machine Learning, 7.5 credits / Avancerade maskininlärningsmetoder, 7,5
högskolepoäng
Second Cycle
3/ 4
1. Written hall examination (Skriftlig salstentamen), 4 credits
Grading scale: Pass with Distinction (VG), Pass (G) and Fail (U)
2. Assignments (Inlämningsuppgifter), 3.5 credits
Grading scale: Pass with Distinction (VG), Pass (G) and Fail (U)

Form of teaching
Lectures and assignments

Language of instruction: English

Assessment

The course will be examined by an written hall examination and the assignments.

If a student, who has failed the same examined element on two occasions, wishes to
change examiner before the next examination session, such a request is to be submitted
to the department in writing and granted unless there are special reasons to the contrary
(Chapter 6, Section 22 of Higher Education Ordinance).

In the event that a course has ceased or undergone major changes, students are to be
guaranteed at least three examination sessions (including the ordinary examination
session) over a period of at least one year, though at most two years after the course has
ceased/been changed. The same applies to work experience and VFU, although this is
restricted to just one additional examination session.

Grades
The grading scale comprises: Pass with Distinction (VG), Pass (G) and Fail (U).
A passing grade for the entire course requires at least a passing grade for all sub-courses.
To be awarded a higer passing grade for a full course, the student must, in addition,
have a higher average on the weighted grades on the sub-courses grades.

Course evaluation
The course is evaluated through meeting after the course between teachers and student
representatives. Further, an anonymous questionnaire is used to ensure written
information. The outcome of the evaluations serves to improve the course by indicating
which parts could be added, improved, changed or removed.

The results of and possible changes to the course will be shared with students who
participated in the evaluation and students who are starting the course.

Additional information
The course is a joint course together with Chalmers.
Course literature will be announced at the latest 8 weeks prior to the start of the course.
