Individual preparation - working on the assigned tasks
Throughout the semester, students complete assigned tasks and projects focused on the practical implementation of machine learning algorithms. Tasks include programming in Python, data analysis, model training, and performance evaluation. Students independently implement solutions based on knowledge acquired from lectures and exercises, with the possibility of consulting with the instructor.
