Entry requirements

120 credits including Statistical Machine Learning, a second course in computer programming, Introduction to Image Analysis or Computer-Assisted Image Analysis I. Participation in either Deep Learning for Image Analysis or in both Deep Learning and Advanced Deep Learning for Image Processing. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student shall be able to:

• critically evaluate and discuss scientific papers in the field of image analysis and machine learning;
• search for and critically evaluate scientific papers to obtain a deeper understanding of specific sub-fields within image analysis and machine learning;
• describe principles, methods, and algorithms within image analysis and machine learning, as well as their applications and limitations;
• integrate theory and method knowledge for image analysis and machine learning, and to use, compare and evaluated different models.

Content

Research methodology in image analysis and machine learning. The exact content is decided upon each individual course instance. The course contents are thematically adapted to the different specialization within the Master's Programme in Image Analysis and Machine Learning, and to some extent also to the preferences of the individual students. 

Instruction

Lectures, seminares, and literature studies. The course is based on seminars, guest lectures, reading and discussion of scientific papers. 

The course also contains reading assignments, oral and written presentations, critical analysis of scientific papers and methods, discussions one ethical principles. Practical implementation and evaluation of methods for image analysis and machine learning may also be included.

Assessment

Active participations in literature seminars. Written and oral presentation of individual literature studies and method evaluation within a topic of specialization. 

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.

Other regulations

This course cannot be included in the same degree as 1MD037 Advanced image analysis.
