Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The main objective of this course is to provide students with hands-on experience in programming simple examples of machine learning-based predictors in Python. The practicals will follow the theory presented during the lectures of Bi9680en. We will cover the basics of programming, some useful libraries for data analysis and machine learning, and two simple examples of predictors for biologically-relevant data. No prior experience in programming is expected at the beginning of the course.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, a student will be able to:
- operate the Spyder editor;
- understand the basics of the code flow;
- operate with basic types of variables, functions, if-conditions, and for-loops;
- implement the necessary steps of the machine learning workflow;
- train and validate simple machine learning predictors.
Syllabus
  • - Introduction to programming, types of variables, your first code;
  • - Booleans, if-conditions, for-loops, basic functions;
  • - Brief introduction to Numpy and Panda;
  • - Hierarchical clustering;
  • - Decision trees;
  • - Cross-validation.
