Course Objective

The basic goal of this course is to provide the knowledge of the modern algorithms which are used in the supervised learning techniques. The field of machine learning is interested in how the self-improving programs can automatically be generated. During the learning process, the theoretical properties of the machine learning algorithms will be given and the application-based studies will be offered.
