Machine Learning, Maths & Ethics: Hands-on

Overview

Course description

Would you like to know the basics of machine learning, but don't know where to start? Would you like to learn about the societal challenges of machine learning? Then, this course is for you!

This hands-on course in Machine Learning, Maths & Ethics, teaches you about the foundations of Machine Learning in an intuitive way. It has a heavy focus on exercises and examples of its applications. The course allows you to develop practical skills to build algorithms and stimulate critical thinking on the ethics of machine learning models.

Although the fields of computer science, artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing the world, the truth is that girls and women are still underrepresented in these fields. We prepared this online course, following the guidelines of FOSTWOM Erasmus+ project to develop MOOCs according to a gender conscious perspective in narratives, in the language, and in the use of images. Thus, we expect this MOOC to be a meaningful learning opportunity to empower young people, especially young women to follow these areas of expertise.

Are you going to miss the opportunity to learn about a technology that is transforming the world?
