With respect to the AA referring system defined for the Master in Electrical Engineering, the course contributes to the develoopment, mastery and assessment of the following skills :

  • AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3
  • AA3.1, AA3.2, AA3.3
  • AA4.1, AA4.2, AA4.4
  • AA5.1, AA5.2, AA5.3, AA5.5
  • AA6.3

At the end of the course, students will be able to :

- Understand and apply machine learning techniques for data and signal analysis, in particular for regression and prediction tasks.

- Understand and apply linear and nonlinear data visualization techniques.

- Evaluate the performances of these methods with appropriate techniques.

- Choose between existing methods on the basis of the nature of data and signals to be analyzed.
