Course Learning Machine Learning

Learning Machine Learning 2019 (LML19) is a 9-day summer course organized by the Departments of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Universidad de los Andes with the support of Universidad del Rosario and the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University. LML19 will bring together beginners and experts in Machine Learning (ML) in a multilevel school that will cover basic concepts in this area with the opportunity to develop real-world projects.

Note: There will no class on Saturday, June 1

Dirigido a

Anyone who is interested in learning current concepts of Machine Learning, preferably with basic skills in mathematics and programming.

Basic skills in mathematics and programming.

Objetivos

This course will start by equipping the students with basic tools in python, statistics, and optimization. Then, lectures and laboratories on current theory and techniques in ML will be offered, followed by a day where students will have the opportunity to test their learned abilities in ML and to win a prize in a competition. During the last two days of the course, students will take part in multidisciplinary workshops along with top researchers in ML.

Metodología

Lectures, workshops, challenges, computer laboratories.

This course will be taught in English. Students are expected to have a good level of communication in English (reading, listening, and speaking).

Contenido

May 30th and 31st

Basics in Optimization, Probability, and Python. These sessions will be recorded, and the videos will be available for those participants that will not be able to attend them.

Condiciones

Eventualmente la Universidad puede verse obligada, por causas de fuerza mayor a cambiar sus profesores o cancelar el programa. En este caso el participante podrá optar por la devolución de su dinero o reinvertirlo en otro curso de Educación Continua que se ofrezca en ese momento, asumiendo la diferencia si la hubiere.

La apertura y desarrollo del programa estará sujeto al número de inscritos. El Departamento/Facultad (Unidad académica que ofrece el curso) de la Universidad de los Andes se reserva el derecho de admisión dependiendo del perfil académico de los aspirantes.
