This course aims at giving you insights and knowledge about many of
the central algorithms used in Data Analysis and Machine Learning.
The course is project based and through various numerical projects,
normally three, you will be exposed to fundamental research problems
in these fields, with the aim to reproduce state of the art scientific
results. Both supervised and unsupervised methods will be covered. The
emphasis is on a frequentist approach, although we will try to link it
with a Bayesian approach as well. You will learn to develop and
structure large codes for studying different cases where Machine
Learning is applied to, get acquainted with computing facilities and
learn to handle large scientific projects. A good scientific and
ethical conduct is emphasized throughout the course. More
specifically, after this course you will
<ul>
<li> Learn about basic data analysis, statistical analysis, Bayesian statistics, Monte Carlo sampling, data optimization and machine learning;</li>
<li> Be capable of extending the acquired knowledge to other systems and cases;</li>
<li> Have an understanding of central algorithms used in data analysis and machine learning;</li>
<li> Understand linear methods for regression and classification, from ordinary least squares, via Lasso and Ridge to Logistic regression;</li>
<li> Learn about neural networks and deep learning methods for supervised and unsupervised learning. Emphasis on feed forward neural networks, convolutional and recurrent neural networks;</li>
<li> Learn about about decision trees, random forests, bagging and boosting methods;</li>
<li> Learn about support vector machines and kernel transformations;</li>
<li> Reduction of data sets, from PCA to clustering;</li>
<li> Autoencoders and Reinforcement Learning;</li>
<li> Work on numerical projects to illustrate the theory. The projects play a central role and you are expected to know modern programming languages like Python or C++ and/or Fortran (Fortran2003 or later) or Julia or other.</li>
