Artificial Intelligence and The Internet of Things, Master's Programme
Artificial Intelligence, 5-year master programme
Language of instruction
English
Recommended prerequisites
The students are expected to have basic knowledge of linear algebra, probability theory and calculus equivalent to MA-223 Statistikk, MA-178 Mathemetics 1 and MA-179 Mathematics 2.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the students should
have a general knowledge of mathematics used in machine learning and artificial intelligence
understand how random variables are described
understand how the chain rule is used in machine learning
understand concepts including maximum likelyhood estimation, regression techniques, classification evaluation, and dimensional re-duction techniques
have a general knowledge of Mathematical Game Theory and Markov chains
be able to develop time dependent, deterministic, and stochastic state space functions
Course contents
The course focuses on mathematical principles needed for practical machine learning tasks. This includes:
probability and information theory including random variables, chain rule of the conditional probabilities, and properties of mathematical functions commonly used on machine learning
topics from linear algebra essential for machine learning tasks
numerical computations including gradient descent and constrained optimization
core mathematical concepts in machine learning such as maximum likelyhood estimation, regression techniques, classification evaluation, and dimensional re-duction techniques
identifying and developing solutions for Mathematical Game theory
developing dynamical systems including but not limited to time dependent functions, deterministic and stochastic state space, and evolution rules
the theory and practice of Markov chains
Teaching methods
The course is organized with a combination of lectures, assignments, paper studies, labs, and report writing. The tasks are done individually or in small groups with group supervision. The work load for the average student is approximately 200 hours.
Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam, 3 hours. Graded assessment.
Evaluation
The person responsible for the course decides, in cooperation with student representative, the form of student evaluation and whether the course is to have a midway or end of course evaluation in accordance with the quality system for education, chapter 4.1.
Offered as Single Standing Module
Yes, if there are places available.
Admission Requirement if given as Single Standing Module
Admission requirements for the course are the same as for the master’s programme in ICT.
