Course Description
This course is an in-depth introduction into the use of machine-learning techniques in the field of materials science.
Necessary foundations will be introduced, including how to curate and maintain data in databases, how to visualize it, and how to turn it into a descriptor compatible with machine-learning models.
Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement techniques to machine learning will be introduced, explained, and students will use these techniques themselves on various data sets.
Regression, classification, and deep learning models will be introduced and used by students.
The course will also explain modern applications of machine learning in the field of materials science using recent research papers.
Hands-on tutorials will be in Python.
Scope
- Statistics in Python
- Machine learning models and their application to data
- Data sources, curation, management, and visualization
- Applications from recent research literature
Course Grading
Grading
Attendance of each unit will be graded through a GradeScope assignment, filled out in class.
Class participation on CampusWire will be graded, and it is expected that you ask two questions throughout the semester and answer two questions throughout the semester.
Several of the units will involve hands-on sessions (check the "Notes/Assignments" column above) and it is required that you to submit a jupyter notebook of your activities, which will be graded.
