Aims and Objectives

  1. To understand the machine learning concepts and choose appropriate techniques/methods for various tasks.
  2. To be able to build a data analytics pipeline suited for various real-world applications with varying data dimensions e.g., 1D signal processing (e.g., audio/speech/sensory), 2D/3D signal processing (images, business/commercial survey data analysis, scan volumes etc).
  3. Evaluate the performance of the method with respect to a gold standard target and analyze the competency of the method.
  4. Determine the significance in the improvement/change in the performance of the method given the population/dataset size in the real-world scenarios.
