Presentation

Bio-inspired machine learning

Optimising machine learning models draws on linear algebra and multivariable calculus. When an analytical solution is difficult to obtain, numerical, stochastic or metaheuristic methods can be used. Some take inspiration from living organisms and natural selection: these are bio-inspired optimisation approaches.

Curriculum

The first stage of Saturdays.AI’s intensive programme covers five Code2Learn modules

Data cleaning, exploration and visualisation

Basic ML models (Supervised & Unsupervised Learning)

Model validation

Neural networks and gradient descent

Natural language processing

Optional classes

Interpreting ML models with SHAP

Time series analysis

Evaluation metrics: classification and regression
