Learning Machine Learning

May 30th – June 11th 2019

Summer School

School of Engineering

Universidad of los Andes, Bogotá

 

Learning Machine Learning 2019 (LML19) is a 9-day summer course organized by the Departments of Electrical and Electronic Enginneering and Biomedical Engineering at Universidad de los Andes with the support of Universidad del Rosario and the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University. LML19 will bring together beginners and experts in Machine Learning (ML) in a multilevel school that will cover basic concepts in this area with the opportunity to develop real-world projects. This course will start by equipping the students with basic tools in python, statistics, and optimization. Then, lectures and laboratories on current theory and techniques in ML will be offered, followed by a day where students will have the opportunity to test their learned abilities in ML and to win a prize in a competition. During the last two days of the course, students will take part in multidisciplinary workshops along with top researchers in ML.

Para estudiantes Uniandinos:

Los estudiantes de pregrado en IELE: pueden tomar este curso IELE como curso electivo en ingeniería (nivel 3 o 4). Estudiantes de otros departamentos por favor verificar con sus respectivos coordinadores de programa. Estos cursos tienen tarifa especial (igual que un curso de vacaciones de 3 créditos) y deben inscribirse en las mismas fechas que los cursos de vacaciones y seguir el proceso de matrícula habitual.

Los cursos de la Escuela de Verano de Ingeniería son cursos de nivel de maestría (4 créditos académicos), válidos como materias para las respectivas áreas.

Para los estudiantes de maestría en IELE: Este es un curso que va a tener doble código - uno en Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica, y otro en Ingeniería Biomédica. Debido al carácter transversal del curso, se les puede tener en cuenta como el curso requerido de otra maestría.

Importante: Los cursos de la Escuela de Verano pueden tomarse en la modalidad de Educación Continuada. Esta modalidad únicamente otorga certificado de asistencia y no da lugar a reconocimiento de créditos.
