COMP SCI 7317OL - Using Machine Learning Tools PG

Online - Online Teaching 3 - 2024

In this course, the students will learn about the fundamentals of machine learning and how to utilise and apply some of the most commonly used tools. The students will learn how to create software that allows the use of pre-existing toolkits when appropriate in order to solve a variety of machine learning problems. The course will have a strong practical component, with case studies and worked examples being used to emphasise the importance of legitimate and verifiable solutions.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Detail
    Assessment 1: Machine Learning Case Study

    In this assessment, you will experiment with a classifier using a standard data set. You will
    analyse the data and evaluate the results obtained by the classifier. Based on your
    understanding of the method and data, you will measure performance and propose steps
    for improvement.

    Assessment 2: Deep Neural Networks: Training and Evaluation

    In this assessment, you will create a deep neural network model using Keras and
    Tensorflow. You will train this model and evaluate its performance against a classical
    baseline method.

    Assessment 3: Deep Neural Networks Analysis

    In this assessment, you will investigate the effects of key parameters on deep neural
    network performance. You will base your investigation on study of the data set and an
    understanding of neural network optimisation. You will reflect on the results of your
    experiments and whether they agree with your predictions.
    Submission
    Assessments are submitted electronically through the assignment feature in MyUni. Turnitin will be used to automatically check for plagiarism. Concise written feedback and grades will be provided via the MyUni feedback feature.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
