== Python Programming for Machine Learning ==

Python Programming for Machine Learning is an optional course in the modules "Machine Learning 1", "Cognitive Algorithms" and "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 optionally for either of these.

Participation in the exercise sessions is not mandatory but highly recommended. However, homework assignments have to be submitted every week.

'''Important information''': Since the first homework has to be submitted by Monday October 21st till 23:55, you have to '''register already by Friday, October 18th 2019 till 23:55 for a group within the ISIS course'''. Otherwise, you will not be able to submit the homeworks.
