Programme Objective
The objective of the “NATIONAL LEVEL SHORT-
TERM TRAINING PROGRAMME (NLSTTP) on
Statistical Machine Learning” is to provide
participants with comprehensive knowledge
and practical skills in the field of statistical
machine learning. The program aims to equip
participants with the necessary tools and
techniques to understand and apply statistical
machine learning algorithms effectively in
various domains. The specific objectives of the
program include:
1. Understanding Statistical Machine
Learning: Introduce participants to the
fundamental concepts, principles, and
algorithms of statistical machine learning.
Cover topics such as supervised and
unsupervised learning, regression,
classification, clustering, dimensionality
reduction, and model evaluation.
2.
participants with hands-on experience in
implementing statistical machine learning
algorithms using programming languages
such as Python or R. Encourage
participants to work on real-world
datasets and case studies to enhance
their practical skills.
3. Model Selection and Evaluation: Teach
participants how to select appropriate
models for different machine learning
tasks and evaluate their performance.
Cover techniques such as cross-validation,
hyperparameter tuning, and model
assessment metrics.
4. Feature Engineering and Preprocessing:
Familiarize participants with techniques
for feature selection, feature extraction,
and data preprocessing. Discuss methods
to handle missing data, outliers, and
categorical variables to improve model
performance.
5. Advanced Topics: Explore advanced
topics in statistical machine learning,
including ensemble methods, deep
learning, natural language processing,
and reinforcement learning. Provide
participants with insights into cutting-
edge research and applications in these
areas.
6. Application in Various Domains: Illustrate
the application of statistical machine
learning techniques in diverse domains
such as finance, healthcare, marketing,
 and image recognition. Help participants
understand how to adapt and customize
machine learning approaches to address
specific domain challenges.
Venue: Campus I, FE&T, ITER.
