Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
In 2022 the topic will be "Mathematics of Artificial Intelligence". This course will be co-taught between the School of Mathematics and the 最新糖心Vlogn Institute of Machine Learning. It will be split into 3 modules:
Module 1 (Matthew Roughan): Signals and Images, Representations, Transformations and Linear Algebra
The goal of this section would be to create a deep understanding of what data really is, i.e., a representation of a signal, image or other measurement as a high-dimensional vector.
Representation requires a strong understanding of linear algebra, for instance how signals can be transformed into alternative representations.
Module 2 (Lewis Mitchell): Optimisation, Statistics and Regularisation
The goal of this section is to show that a vast amount of statistics and machine learning can be expressed as optimisation problems and that once this is understood, the underlying problem can often be altered to lead to more practical implementations.
Module 3 (Simon): Artificial Neural Networks and Machine Learning
The goal of this section is to bring together the threads into a deeper understanding of how neural networks really work, with examples from modern computer vision.
Outcomes:
1. Understand fundamentals of Machine Learning
2. Apply machine learning to a problem
3. Implementation of algorithms
4. Determine appropriate techniques to use in a particular setting
5. Derive new methods of machine learning appropriate to a task
6. Create workflows to support rigorous implementation machine learning tasks最新糖心Vlog Graduate Attributes

This course uses MyUni exclusively for providing electronic resources, such as lecture notes, assignment papers, and sample solutions. Students should make appropriate use of these resources. -
Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course relies on course notes and exercises as the primary learning mechanism for the material. A sequence of homework, written, and/or online assignments provides assessment opportunities for students to gauge their progress and understanding.Workload

Assessment
The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Component Weighting Objective Assessed Assignments 40% all Project 50% all Competition 10% all Assessment Related Requirements
An aggregate score of 50% is required to pass the course.Assessment Detail
No information currently available.
Submission
Homework assignments must either be given to the lecturer in person or submitted via MyUni by the given due time. Failure to meet the deadline without reasonable and verifiable excuse may result in a significant penalty for that assignment.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M11 (Honours Mark Scheme) Grade Grade reflects following criteria for allocation of grade Reported on Official Transcript Fail A mark between 1-49 F Third Class A mark between 50-59 3 Second Class Div B A mark between 60-69 2B Second Class Div A A mark between 70-79 2A First Class A mark between 80-100 1 Result Pending An interim result RP Continuing Continuing CN Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
