The module covers what is meant by learning from data and using patterns in data to learn from it as long as we have enough data from which to learn. The module will look at how to learn from data, using basic techniques and trialling them on data sets, and will look at algorithms to make machine learning better.

Applicants must have a minimum Level 8 honours degree, at minimum second class honours (NFQ or other internationally recognised equivalent), in a relevant engineering, computing, mathematics, science or technology discipline, or a Level 8 Honours degree in other disciplines, which has a significant mathematics and computing element
