About the course
After the course you should be able to:
- set up and solve typical natural computation problems
- by implementation or with simulation tools, determine the applicability of different learning methods to different types of learning problems, i.e. know the strengths and weaknesses of the method
- set a good representation of the data
- recognise the typical effects of bad choices and determine how to improve the results
- describe how and why machine learning and natural computation methods (such as deep learning and genetic algorithms) work.
