The module ''Master's Machine Learning'' explores the principles of machine learning algorithms. The main goal of the module is to discuss how to state a practical problem correctly, according to theoretical principles. This module explains what hypotheses should be applied to the dataset, how to set error functions, how to select an optimal model, and analyze its features. The module includes lectures on clustering, classification, regression, model selection, and multi-modeling. It includes a series of homework problems based on real-life projects.
