| Course contents : | Inductive learning consists of building automatically a general solution to a problem from a set of solutions of specific instances of this problem. Its applications are multitudinous: extraction medical diagnostic decision rules from clinical databases; bioinformatics; construction of credit allocation procedures from bank customer databases; computer vision; modeling, optimisation and control of complex systems; automatic syntesis of algorithms; extraction of knowledge from human experts... The theoretcal part of the course introduces the different types of automatic learning problems (explorative data mining, automatic classification automatique, approximation), the main underlying principles (bias/variance tradeoff, validation) as well as the main families of methods (statistical, symbolic, artificial neural nets). Practical exercises allow the students to become familiar with these concepts by applying them to a real databases. |
