Course content

Description of the main challenges that arise when dealing with large data sets and presentations of different possibilities for data management, data cleaning and outlier detection. Basic definitions in artificial intelligence and machine learning: training, validation, backpropagation, loss functions, error metrics. Description of different machine learning methods (logistic regression, clustering, neural networks, ...) and their classification into different categories such as supervised vs. unsupervised, regression vs. classification. Usage of tools to efficiently implement machine learning methods. Interpretation and analysis of the results and presentation of the potential of machine learning with examples of the chemical and biochemical engineering field.

Acquired competences

The students can analyze the quality of data sets and perform simple operations to clean and prepare the data for the application of different machine learning techniques. The students are able to design and apply several AI techniques using efficient software tools and they are able to transfer this knowledge to solve practical problems. The students can recognize reliable results from the application of the presented machine learning techniques and critically evaluate their limitations.
