COURSE SUMMARY
This course includes machine learning concepts, Statistical Theories, Supervised learning, high dimensional data
and the role of sparsity, Learning theory, Risk minimization, Classification and regression, and EM algorithm. It
also covers important topics such as parametric and non-parametric methods, theory of generalization,
regularization, the role of sparsity in high dimensional data, and surrogate loss functions. In a broader sense, the
course offers a thorough understanding of statistical ML concepts that help students design and implement daily
life learning applications.
How are the above COs aligned with the Program-Specific Objectives (POs) of the degree?
The course outcomes are aligned to inculcating inquisitiveness in understanding cutting edge areas of
computer science engineering and allied disciplines with their potential impacts.

TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGIES
The course will be taught using a combination of the best practices of teaching-learning. Multiple environments
will be used to enhance the outcomes such as seminar, self-learning, MOOCs, group discussions and ICT based
tools for class participation along with the classroom sessions. The teaching pedagogy being followed includes
more exposure to hands-on experiment and practical implementations done in the lab sessions. To match with the
latest trend in academics, case study, advanced topics and research oriented topics are covered to lay down the
foundation and develop the interest in the students leading to further exploration of the related topics. To make the
students aware of the industry trends, one session of expert lecture will be organized to provide a platform to the
students for understanding the relevant industry needs.
