IN5400 – Machine Learning for Image Analysis
Course description
Changes in the course due to coronavirus
Autumn 2020 and Spring 2021 the exams of most courses at the MN Faculty will be conducted as digital home exams or oral exams, using the normal grading scale. The semester page for your course will be updated with any changes in the form of examination.
Please note that there may be changes in the form of examination for some courses taught Spring 2021. We aim to bring both the course description and the semester page of all courses up to date with correct information by 1 February 2021.
See general guidelines for examination at the MN Faculty autumn 2020.
Course content
The course provide an introduction to the theory behind key machine learning algorithms used in image analysis. Furthermore, selected methods and tools for deep learning are described.
Learning outcome
After finishing the course you´ll:
- have good knowledge of how neural networks are built up and how backpropagation works
- have a good knowledge of how a web is practiced in practice and how the training process can be monitored
- know the key mathematical methods used in the algorithms
- know different network architectures and in what contexts they are suitable
- have knowledge of overtime, generalization, and validation and how best possible generalization can be achieved
- know how the convolutions network works and how these can be customized for different purposes.
- have basic knowledge in topics such as unsupervised learning, recurrent networks, and reinforcement learning.
- have experience in using deep learning tools such as Tensorflow
Admission to the course
Students admitted at UiO must apply for courses in Studentweb. Students enrolled in other Master's Degree Programmes can, on application, be admitted to the course if this is cleared by their own study programme.
Nordic citizens and applicants residing in the Nordic countries may apply to take this course as a single course student.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants
