COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course is taught in English

 

Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) is based on the idea that models can be constructed through training using data. Different design choices regarding both the type of model and the training procedure can be crucial for the final result. This course covers the fundamentals of modeling from the perspective of various uncertainties that may arise.

The course is based on a theory that often serves as a foundation for uncertainty modeling within the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. The goal in these fields is often to extract knowledge and use models for decision-making or prediction. The course addresses key concepts and tools for probabilistic modeling, as well as programming techniques to efficiently handle data and build models. Specifically, so-called probabilistic programming will play a central role as a modeling tool throughout the course.

Who is the course for?
The course is aimed at professionals in industry who want a deeper understanding of uncertainties that can arise during modeling in the AI field.

After completing the course, you will be able to:

  • demonstrate the use of tools for programming with data,
  • show understanding of fundamental concepts related to uncertainty and probabilistic modeling within AI/data analysis,
  • demonstrate the use of tools for probabilistic modeling,
  • analyze, assess, and show understanding of training results in terms of uncertainty, and
  • analyze a model’s performance by exploring uncertainty using visualization.


Course format
The course is designed to be combined with work, meaning:

The course is delivered online with pre-recorded lectures,
It is a short course (3 ECTS credits) with a study pace of 20% (approximately 8 hours per week over 10 weeks).
The language of instruction can, depending on the course occasion, be either Swedish or English.

If the course is taught in Swedish, some parts may still be conducted in English.

Entry Requirements
If you do not meet the formal entry requirements, you may have your eligibility assessed based on prior learning, knowledge and competencies you have acquired in other ways, such as work experience or other studies. Read more at his.se/sokwiser.
