Description

The 15th Thematic CERN School of Computing (tCSC Machine Learning 2024) will take place on October 13-19, 2024.

The school will focus on the theme of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence applied to Data Analysis and Accelerator Technology. The programme will offer 22 hours of lectures and hands-on exercises, and student presentation sessions.

This school is organized by CERN in collaboration with the Faculty of Science, University of Split. The school will take place in Split, Croatia, and be hosted at the Mediterranean Institute For Life Sciences (MEDILS) Conference Centre. The Centre is a historical renovated building situated in a wooded and landscaped park located on the Adriatic Sea coast, a few kilometers from the centre of Split.

  Machine learning methods: L1 Introduction to Statistics
  
  In this lecture we will go over key concepts in statistics which are the cornerstone of mathematical foundation of Machine Learning. We will define frequentistic and Bayesian probabilities, learn what is a PDF. We will also discuss parameter estimation with the Maximum Likelihood method and finish with the definition of Confidence Intervals.

  Machine learning methods: L2 Statistics and Machine Learning
  
  We start this lecture with unfolding and hypothesis testing, another two key concepts from statistics. Key part of the lecture is the Neyman-Person lemma that paves a clear path for the needs of Machine Learning in statistics.

  Machine learning methods: L3 Classical Machine Learning
  
  We continue tackling the problem of trying to know the likelihood ratio with the use of Classical Machine Learning. We try to solve it by brute force and then we move to Machine Learning techniques. We start with a Kernel Density Estimators. We continue by defining what is a decision tree, what is a leaf and we study how it works on a very simple example. We go further and explain the difference between classification and regression, as well as the need for pruning, bagging, and boosting. This main goal of this lecture is to remove the idea of the “black-box approach" and understand all of the details of a decision tree.

  Machine Learning Methods: L4 Introduction to Deep Learning
  
  We introduce the concept of a Neural Network (NN) and study their application with a single-neuron network. This again allows us to avoid the "black-box approach" and really understand the key concepts of how a NN works. We discuss activation functions and how the NN learns with the help of the loss functions and backpropagation. We finish by discussing the basic idea of a Deep Neural Network and basic training concepts.
