Competency aims

The aim of this course is to provide the students
with knowledge about thoughtful, responsible,
and ethical uses of machine learning practice,
which is a fundamental precondition to
trustworthy development of AI. Recommendation
engines, which simultaneously shape and predict
the future in nearly all parts of the human life,
will be the main use case during the course.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is expected
to have an understanding of the techniques
behind automated decision making systems related
to common ML practice using Python,
combined with the skill to judge if the decision
seems reasonable or not. The students will have a
detailed and holistic knowledge about the
concerns and issues regarding algorithmic
decision
making and how to address them.
