The course is offered on the II semester of the I year. The course is taught in English. The course addresses the core issues in machine learning, with a special focus on algorithms and theory of statistical machine learning, and modern techniques for deep learning. Lab activities will quip students with first-hand experience on modern optimization methods and programming framework most used in advance research and companies as of today, and to have first hand experiences on the properties of such algorithms on specific case studies.
