Synopsis:

The course explains machine learning methods helpful for getting insight into data by automatically discovering interpretable data models such as graph- and rule-based. The course will also address a theoretical framework explaining why/when the explained algorithms can in principle be expected to work.

The lectures are given in English.

Requirements:

Topics contained in course A4B33RPZ.
