Programme Modules

The programme comprises 12 modules and will be led by an NUS faculty expert with more than 20 years’ experience in the field.
  • Understand the history and definition of Machine Learning and explain its various approaches, methods, and tools for applications and implementation.

  • Understand how machines can learn and explain Machine Learning through the supervised learning, reinforcement learning, unsupervised learning patterns, and the concepts of underfitting and overfitting.

  • Install the RapidMiner Machine Learning platform to explore the libraries, functions, and operators in the RapidMiner environment.

  • Design and practise application and analysis of clustering systems, based on the unsupervised learning algorithms of K-means and Hierarchical Clustering.

  • Execute and explain the implementations of techniques of supervised learning algorithms of Linear and Logistic Regression and Decision Trees.

  • Apply the principles and applications of artificial neural networks in Machine Learning and design neural networks for various practical considerations.

  • Explain the principles of reinforcement learning and design customised recommendation systems for various applications.

  • Explain the types of deep neural networks – their applications and future trends – and design a deep learning system based on advanced models.

  • Identify and discuss the issues and impacts in implementing Machine Learning in areas of safety, diversity/inclusion, human rights, and values.

  • Toward the end of the programme, you will demonstrate your newly gained machine learning skills by applying what you learned to build a simulation of real-life projects.
