Machine learning involves automatically constructing models to explain and generalise datasets, integrating elements of statistics and algorithm development. Initially rooted in Artificial Intelligence, it encompasses various learning approaches. This unit provides students with the fundamental principles of machine learning, enabling them to apply supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised learning methods, explore basic deep learning principles, and gain practical experience in solving industry-relevant data-driven problems. This introductory unit is suitable for students with diverse backgrounds in data science and other majors. It provides hands-on experience and empowers you with the essential skills and knowledge necessary to excel in an era driven by data and Artificial Intelligence.","title-full":"IFN580 Machine Learning","title-short":"Machine Learning","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=IFN580&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=IFN580","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=IFN580"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
