Applied Machine Learning, 3 credits

In the modern IT world, businesses often have access to large amounts of data collected from customer management systems, web services, customer interaction, etc. The data in itself does not bring value to the business; we must bring meaning to the data to create value. Data mining and machine learning is an area within computer science with the goal of bringing meaning to and learning from data. This course will focus on applied machine learning, where we learn what algorithms and approaches to apply on different types of data.
