Machine Learning&Artificial Intelligence(Oxford)
description
This course is virtually unique in providing not only an introduction to the technology of ML/AI but also a solid introduction to the Ethical, Economic, Social and Sustainability issues that underpin and shape its use. An understanding of these issues is crucial to the fair and equitable
application of these powerful technologies. These issues provide a strong indicator towards potential risks and to significant human value. The course tutors strongly believe that nobody should work in this domain without fully understanding the broader implications of the work that is being done.
The technology component of the course introduces techniques for automatically organising and categorising information; building models that replicate human decision making and for complex recognition tasks. Participants will learn how to prepare and manipulate data to remove errors and omissions in data and enable model building. The course will provide powerful methods for data visualisations that enable human insight and decision-making.
