Course Objectives
(a) To familiarize with/develop the understanding of fundamental concepts of Machine
Learning (ML)
(b) To develop the understanding of working of a variety of ML algorithms (both
supervised as well as unsupervised)
(c) To learn to apply ML algorithms to real world
data/problems
(d) To update with some of the latest advances in the field
Course Content
NOTE: The exact list of topics below is tentative (until we are past that week).
We will update it as we go through the lectures in each week. So, stay tuned!

Assignment Submission Instructions
- You are free to discuss the assignment problems with other students in the class. But all your code should be
produced independently without looking at/referring to anyone else's code.
- Python is the default programming
languages for the course. You should use it for programming your
assignments unless otherwise explicitly allowed.
- Code should be submitted using Moodle Page.
Make sure to include commenrs for readability.
- Create a separate directory
for each of the questions named by the question number. For instance, for question 1,
all your submissions files should be put in the directory named
Q1 (and so on for other questions). Put all the Question sub-directories in a single
top level directory. This directory should be named as "yourentrynumber_firstname_lastname".
For example, if your entry number is "2020cs19535" and your name is "Nitika Rao", your
submission directory should be named as "2020cs19535_nitika_rao". You should zip your
directory and name the resulting file as "yourentrynumber_firstname_lastname.zip" e.g. in
the above example it will be "2021cs19535_nitika_rao.zip". This single zip file should
be submitted online.
- Honor Code: Any cases of copying will be awarded a zero on the assignment and an additional penalty equal to the negative of the total
weightage of the assignment. More severe penalties may follow.
- Late Policy: You are allowed a total of 5 late (buffer) days acorss the first 3 assignments. You are free to decide how you would like to use them. The late policy (if any) for
the last assignment will be announced separately.
You will get a penalty of 10% deduction in marks (per day) for every additional late day in submission used beyond the allowed 5 buffer days (applicable to first 3 assignments only).
