Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Theory and Practice

Activity: Participating in or organising an event typesParticipation in workshop, seminar, course

Description

In our age of burgeoning smart technology and automation we are already seeing the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in fields as diverse as finance, medicine, and manufacturing. This course offers a hands-on introduction to this future-focused area of research.

You will begin with an introduction to the basics of programming in Python, in particular understanding object-oriented programming and its importance to deep learning. You will quickly proceed to an introduction to artificial intelligence, examining the fundamentals of supervised machine learning, including linear regression, logistic regression, neural networks, and gradient descent. In the second week of the course you will explore image processing, investigating transformations, convolutional filters, and edge detection, before an introduction to convolutional neural networks and some prominent CNN architectures such as VGG and ResNet. In the final part of the course, you will look at the core concepts of natural language processing, including sequence modeling, autoregressive models, and recurrent neural networks.

This intensive course offers both a theoretical introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts, and an opportunity to put this knowledge into action in solving small-scale practical problems from diverse domains.
