Python Programming for Machine Learning
Python Programming for Machine Learning is an optional course in the module "Machine Learning - Theory and Applications" and is worth 3 LP (3 ECTS credits).
In the general case, it is not possible to take the Python course as a standalone course. There are possible exceptions to this (e.g. it complements another ML or related course you are taking in parallel). In that case, a special request needs to be made.
The course will be split in two tracks A and B, with the same content, but held at different times of the week/day. Students can opt for either of these.
Track A is recommended for ML1 students as it has no time conflict with that course.

Main Topics
- Python Basics
- Numpy / Performance / Plotting
- Rounding / Overflow / Linear Algebra
- Randomness / Simulation
Additional Topics
- Linear Models (Regression, PCA)
- Low-Level Extensions (F2PY)
Knowledge of elementary programming concepts will be helpful. Be aware that lack of such knowledge will increase the time demand of the class. In that case, you should consider to prepare with a python beginner class.
