Spesielle vilkår

Anbefalte forkunnskaper

AI or Machine learning (recommended). In order to accommodate students with no or little experiences with Machine learning, we will make use of some online tutorial materials (videos and exercises) at the beginning and set up checkpoint for these basics so that everyone will have the necessary introductory knowledge to work on the course project.

Kursmateriell

There is no required textbook and students should be able to learn everything from the suggested materials and mentoring during the course project.
