Course Syllabus
Obiettivi formativi
Fornire sia le conoscenze sia le capacità di utilizzare algoritmi di Machine Learning e di applicarli alla soluzione di probemi. Lo studente acquisirà padronanza delle metodologie di machine learning per affrontare problemi di classificazione e regressione. acquisirà la capacità critica necessaria per valutare quali problemi possono essere risolti con tecniche di machine learning.
Conoscenza e comprensione. Questo insegnamento fornirà conoscenze e capacità di comprensione relativamente a: algoritmi di machine learning, categorie di problemi risolvibili con algoritmi di machine learning, principali metodologie applicabili e criticità a cui prestare attenzione.
Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione. Alla fine dell'insegnamento gli studenti saranno in grado di: applicare algoritmi di machine learning per affrontare problemi di classificazione, regressione ed in generale per estrarre informazioni dai dati. Saranno in grado di svolgere sia dei test di fattibilità sia di realizzare soluzioni complete.

Learning objectives
To gain knowledge about Machine Learning algorithms, and to apply them to solve problems. The student will master machine learning methodologies to deal with classification and regression problems. The student will acquire the critical thinking to evaluate which problems can be solved using machine learning techniques.
Knowledge and understanding. This course will provide knowledge and understanding about: machine learning algorithms; machine learning problem categories and the algorithms best suited for their solutions; main methodologies and related issues.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding. At the end of the course, students will be able to: apply machine learning algorithms to tackle classification, regression problems, and to extract information from data. The students will be able to design and implement both feasibility tests and complete solutions.
