FIRST SEMESTER 2023-2024

Course Handout Part II

In addition to part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this portion gives further specific details regarding the course.

Date: 11/08/2023

Course No. : BITS F464

Course Title : Machine Learning

Instructor In Charge : Manik Gupta

Scope and Objectives of the course:

Machine Learning addresses the problem of identifying patterns in data. The major goal of machine learning is to allow computers to learn (potentially complex)

patterns from data, and then make decisions based on these patterns. The course covers design, implementation and applications of many supervised and

unsupervised machine learning algorithms. The classification algorithms, namely, Perceptron, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Artificial Neural

Networks, Decision Trees, Ensembles will be studied in details.

The objectives of the course are to

Learn theoretical and practical aspects of linear models for regression and classification
●
Understand probabilistic discriminative and generative models for classification
●
Learn theoretical and practical aspects of SVM and ANN
●
Understand decision tree learning and ensemble methods
●
