    Condition
    The goal Introduce students to theoretical and practical aspects of supervised machine learning and reinforcement learning. illustration of various application areas and techniques for choosing the adequate modeling, optimization, evaluation and implementation techniques.
    The outcome Students will be able to: choose an adequate machine learning algorithm suited to the real-world problem at hand, implement it, optimize its parameters and evaluate its performance. Special attention will be paid to techniques for formulating the problem and casting it in a configuration best suited to the application of the methods covered in this course.
