Prerequisites
The first year subjects, in addition to Numerical Methods and Optimization and Machine Learning 1.
Objectives and Contextualisation
To learn at theoretical and practical levels the potential of deep learning for structured and also unstructured data.
Learning Outcomes
- CM11 (Competence) Create new machine learning models, running experiments to demonstrate their feasibility and improved performance compared to the state of the art.
- CM12 (Competence) Assess the existence of inequalities on the grounds of gender in databases, to avoid bias in automatic (algorithmic) decision-making.
- KM16 (Knowledge) Recognise supervised and unsupervised, profound and generic machine learning models, fostering innovation in the field of statistics.
Content

Teaching will combine classroom lessons by teachers and practical work for students with a computer.
In all aspects of teaching/learning activities, the best efforts will be made by teachers and students to avoid language and situations that can be interpreted as sexist.
To achieve continuous improvement in this subject, everyone should collaborate in highlighting them.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exam | 50% | 4 | 0.16 | CM11, CM12, KM16 |
| Practical Part | 50% | 20 | 0.8 | CM11, CM12, KM16 |
Continuous grading
The grading for the course will be done in two parts: the theory part, NT, and the practice part, NP. The final grade for the course will be N = 0.5*NT + 0.5*NP.
The grading for the theory part will be based in two exams: a partial exam, NEP, and a final exam, NEF. The final grade for the theory part will be NT = max(NEF, 0.3*NEP + 0.7*NEF), as long as NEF is higher than 3,5, otherwise NT = NEF.
The evaluation of the practical part will consist of two items: a practical assignment (PA) and a practical exam (PE). The grade for the practical part will be PG = 0.5 PA + 0.5 PE.
On the day of the second-chance exam only the grade for the theory part will be updated. If a student goes to the second-chance exam then the theory grade, NT, will be the grade for the second-chance exam.
In order for an activity to be taken into account in the final grade, the activity grade has to be a minimum of 3,5. If NT or NP are below 3,5, then the final grade for the course will be N = min(NT, NP).
The student who has submitted works for at least 50% of the subject will be considered evaluable. Otherwise, it will appear in the record as non-evaluable.
Single grading
The grading for a student who chooses to be evaluated with the single grading modality will be based on the final examn grade (50%) and the grade for the practical assignement and the practical exam (50%).
