A.Y. 2022/2023
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is the introduction to methods and techniques for describing, summarizing and finding a structure in a data set, with particular attention to cultural heritage datasets. Both classical statistical methods and artificial intelligence methods will be considered.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will know how to perform explorative analysis, some basic inferences and the most common statistical tests using a statistical analysis software. Moreover, they will know the main techniques of machine learning both for regression and classification problems, and will be aware of the main machine learning issues.
