Programme Objective Jointly Organized by Centre for Data Science (CDS) and Centre for Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (CAI&ML) Under the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Faculty of Engineering and Technology (ITER) Siksha ‘O’ Anushandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar-751030, Odisha, India The objective of the “NATIONAL LEVEL SHORTTERM TRAINING PROGRAMME (NLSTTP) on Statistical Machine Learning” is to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in the field of statistical machine learning. The program aims to equip participants with the necessary tools and techniques to understand and apply statistical machine learning algorithms effectively in various domains. The specific objectives of the program include: 1. Understanding Statistical Machine Learning: Introduce participants to the fundamental concepts, principles, and algorithms of statistical machine learning. Cover topics such as supervised and unsupervised learning, regression, classification, clustering, dimensionality reduction, and model evaluation. 2. Hands-on Experience: Provide participants with hands-on experience in implementing statistical machine learning algorithms using programming languages such as Python or R. Encourage participants to work on real-world datasets and case studies to enhance their practical skills. 3. Model Selection and Evaluation: Teach participants how to select appropriate models for different machine learning tasks and evaluate their performance. Cover techniques such as cross-validation, hyperparameter tuning, and model assessment metrics. 4. Feature Engineering and Preprocessing: Familiarize participants with techniques for feature selection, feature extraction, and data preprocessing. Discuss methods to handle missing data, outliers, and categorical variables to improve model performance. 5. Advanced Topics: Explore advanced topics in statistical machine learning, including ensemble methods, deep learning, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. Provide participants with insights into cuttingedge research and applications in these areas. 6. Application in Various Domains: Illustrate the application of statistical machine learning techniques in diverse domains such as finance, healthcare, marketing, and image recognition. Help participants understand how to adapt and customize machine learning approaches to address specific domain challenges. Venue: Campus I, FE&T, ITER.
