Introduction
Machine learning has emerged as the discipline which emphasizes the development of advanced data-driven computer programs that can access data and learn by themselves. This is aimed at removing human intervention in the most tedious of tasks.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) play kin to it. Irrespective of the industry, ML and AI have drastically altered the landscape and invented new ways of looking at the data. All being backed by standard statistical and mathematical principles.
This Masters in Science program in AL and ML clubs the nuances of both the disciplines to offer students exactly what is needed to understand the world of data in tools and in theory. machine learning to enable student’s business decision-making and analytics.
The course focuses on developing statistical thinking to line a foundation of varied specialization courses in their future course of study. It involves an introduction to the statistical concepts and tools widely used for Data Analysis and helps in effective deciding.
Students will discover the concepts and gain expertise on the usage and applications of algorithms of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. They will have abundant opportunities to plunge into advanced concepts. By hands-on projects, students will gain experience on the concepts behind search algorithms, clustering, classification, optimization, reinforcement learning, and other topics and incorporate the learning in R Programs.
