Course content

Day 1

What is machine learning?
Types of machine learning (classification, regression, ranking, reinforcement learning, clustering, anomaly detection, recommendation, optimization)
Data preparation (train, test and validation data sets, imbalanced and noisy data)
Classification model evaluation (accuracy, precision, recall, confusion matrix, ROC, AUC)
Basic algorithms for classification (baseline models, Naïve Bayes Classifier, Logistic regression, Support Vector Machines, decision trees, ensemble models)
Quick Scikit-Learn tutorial (how to load and transform data, training models, predicting values, model pipelines and evaluation)
Practical classification task
Basic algorithms for regression (analytical methods, gradient descent, SVR, regression trees)

Day 2

Basic algorithms for clustering (K-means, hierarchical clustering)
Practical clustering task
Introduction to artificial neural networks (why they are so popular, what their advantages and disadvantages are, perceptron neural network)
Most frequently used activation functions (Sigmoid, Linear, Tanh, Relu, Softmax)
Multi-Layer neural networks (back propagation algorithm, stochastic gradient descent, convolution, pooling, regularizations)
Quick tutorial to Keras (sequential models, optimizers, training, data workflow)
Practical classification and regression tasks using neural networks

Day 3

Introduction to natural language processing
Chapters from computational linguistics (corpus, tokenization, morphological, syntactic and semantic analysis, entropy, perplexity)
Text document vectorization (bag of words, one-hot encoding, TF-IDF)
Practical taks on text classification
Word embedding (word2vec, GloVe)
Introduction to language modelling (n-gram models, smoothing, neural network based language models)
