Learning Outcomes
After completeing the module the students will have a solid understanding of theoret- ical foundations of Machine Learning and will be able to develop, apply, and analyze the complexity of the resulting learning algorithms. Moreover, a special emphasis will be put on applications of Machine Learning in areas such as Signal Processing and Wireless Communications and the students will be able to theoretically analyze and algorithmically solve learning problems arising in these fields.
