- [Other Information](#other-information)
- [Requirements](#requirements)
- [Relevant Degrees](#relevant-degrees)

The Machine Learning specialisation offers a deep insight into the world of machine learning and its current frontiers. Students will learn about machine learning and intelligent agents (reinforcement learning, information-theoretic foundations).

## Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate a solid understanding of a variety of Machine Learning approaches
2. Formalise real-world problems and select the most appropriate Machine Learning method to solve such a problem
3. Implement Machine Learning algorithms and design and carry out empirical evaluation
4. Compare and critique all state-of-the-art Machine Learning approaches

## Other Information

This Specialisation is incompatible with the Computing and Mathematical Foundations minor; Intelligent Systems major; and Advanced Intelligent Systems major.

## Relevant Degrees

- [Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Honours) (AACOM)](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/program/AACOM)
- [Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research and Development) (Honours) (AACRD)](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/program/AACRD)
