Building on the great response to the Virtual ML Summer School 2020, we are happy to offer this program in 2021 again.
The course is constructed holistically and as self-contained as possible, in order to cover most relevant areas of supervised ML. While the introductory parts are more aimed at a practical and operational understanding of the covered algorithms and models, we also include sound theoretical foundations and proofs in more advanced sections in order to teach ML theory as self-contained and precise as possible.
The course will be held using the flipped classroom method: Participants are expected to prepare course materials (videos, quizzes, online exercises) independently and at their own pace in preparation for the live sessions. Live online sessions and group work will be used to put the concepts learned into practice.
Live sessions will take place in two consecutive blocks. Participants sign up for both blocks.

Introduction to Machine Learning (I2ML)
In addition to the course program Helmholtz AI Consultants contribute to the program by providing insight into current research projects and the application of ML methods, time & date tba.
Prior to the course, you will have access to the course materials and organize your learning time yourself: You can prepare individual topics the day before the live sessions or in the weeks before the course starts.
The course is taught in English and targeted at ML beginners with a basic, university level, education in maths and statistics:
