Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming the way organizations harness data to draw business insights. This advanced course focuses on advanced machine learning techniques and deep learning algorithms. Students will receive hands-on training on deep learning models/architectures, including sequential and functional models, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long-short term memory (LSTM), autoencoders, and adversarial networks. The foundations of distributed cluster-computing frameworks, including map-reduce and Spark will also be covered. Prerequisite: INSY 5378.
