DESCRIPTION

Machine Learning is commonly considered to be a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence, and can be seen as the study of computational approaches to finding patterns in data. This unit extends the treatment of the topic beyond that in its prerequisite unit, both in breadth, through an introduction to Reinforcement Learning, and in depth through a discussion of research papers from the literature. It also introduces the application of Machine Learning techniques in the area of (2D) computer vision and the use of image processing techniques as a precursor to the application of Machine Learning.
