Module summary

This module gives students a solid understanding of machine learning methodologies and the chance to use
them in practice within a business context. Students will learn about classical machine learning approaches
such as decision trees, probability-based classification, support vector machines and neural networks. It will
also cover bleeding edge methods such as deep learning and text analytics. This module assumes no prior
knowledge of machine learning and would be suitable for students with strong quantitative skills in
disciplines such as business, science, engineering, maths, computer science, geography etc.
