Would you like to refresh your ICT skills?

Would you like to turn your basic IT skills into a machine learning expert?

Here are new online courses offered by FITech ICT to make this happen:

Machine learning with Python 2 ECTS – Apply now!

Most of us have our own personal “artificial intelligence assistant” which is implemented on her smartphone. This assistant helps us to find the next supermarket, to translate information in foreign languages or to spot the best Italian restaurant in town. Many of these abilities are obtained using machine learning (ML).

In this online course, we will introduce some of the most widely used ML methods such as regression, classification, feature learning and clustering. We will discuss these methods in a hands-on fashion using coding assignments which include implementations of ML methods using the programming language Python.

The course is organized in six rounds: Introduction, Regression, Classification, Model Validation and Selection, Clustering and Dimensionality Reduction. Each round covers a certain part of the course book and includes a Python notebook with the coding assignment.

Teaching method: online

Duration: 15 April - 15 June 2019

Prerequisites: This course requires only basic skills in mathematics (notion of a function , vectors and matrices ) and familiarity with at least one high-level programming language (Python, R, C ++, Matlab, Visual Basic,…).

Apply by 7 April 2019 (https://fitech.io/news/machine-learning-with-python/)
