The following courses are taught by the Machine Learning group at the Department of Informatics:
INF264 Introduction to Machine Learning (autumn)
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence focusing on algorithms that enable computers to learn from and change behavior based on empirical data. The course gives an understanding of the theoretical basis for machine learning and a set of concrete algorithms including decision tree learning, artificial neural networks, Bayesian learning, and support vector machines. The course also includes programming and use of machine learning algorithms on real-world data sets.

INF265 Deep Learning (spring)
Artificial neural networks are flexible and powerful machine learning models. Modern deep learning has had tremendous success in applying complex neural networks to problems from a wide range of disciplines. This course gives and understanding of the theoretical basis underlying neural networks and deep learning. Furthermore, the course includes implementation of neural components and as well as applying deep learning on real-world data sets using modern deep learning packages.

INF266 Reinforcement Learning (spring)
Reinforcement learning is one the main paradigms of modern machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics, with wide applications for decision-making and for the training of autonomous agents. This course provides an understanding of the foundation of reinforcement learning, analyzes classical reinforcement learning algorithms, and shows how practical problems can be modelled and solved with a reinforcement learning approach.
