About the Machine Learning Methods Program

Overview

Explore Program

Our Specialized Certificate in Machine Learning Methods will introduce students to the subject matter using a variety of tools including: Linear Algebra, Deep Learning, TensorFlow, and Deep Neural Networks (DNN).

Machine Learning is an application of artificial intelligence that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. According to a report by BCC Research, the ability of computers to "learn" without having to be programmed will continue to impact global markets in coming years. This growth is being driven by increased computing power, the expanding need for learning and prediction applications, and rising usage of the cloud for data storage.

A student completing this certificate will accumulate an important set of skills needed in current machine learning careers. Courses consist of both theoretical and practical skills complementing each other and hence enhancing the machine learning scientist abilities. Furthermore, courses are designed and classified to train students further in the field of machine learning, as well as coordinating with other engineering disciplines and industrial practices.

Key Program Topics

Learn linear algebra skills necessary for machine learning and neural network modelling
Tools and underlying mathematical concepts of data interpretation that work with specific models of neural networks (NN)
Review tools available to build Deep Learning including: Tensor Flow, Keras, and Theano
Perform detailed analysis of leading machine learning approaches and popular NN like CNN, FCNN, ImageNet, ResNet, and RNN
Apply NN in image classification, image segmentation and natural language processing (NLP)
Algorithms and modelling used in supervised learning of neural networks
