WSQ—Applied Machine Learning (SF) (Synchronous and Asynchronous E-learning)

This course intends to bridge the gap between learner’s conceptual knowledge, professional skills, and practical capabilities:

• In analysing appropriate data sets and data transformation methods for analysis. Learners will gain a practical understanding of the design, analysis, and implementation of machine learning and reasoning systems.
• In developing scalable data pipelines to extract, load, and integrate unstructured data from various sources.
• In troubleshooting bugs during deployment and creating bug fixes to address issues.

At the end of the course, learners will be able to:

1) Analyse machine learning techniques and business driver applications.

2) Analyse and prepare data for machine reasoning systems with relevant techniques.

3) Analyse, organize, and represent knowledge for machine reasoning systems. 

4) Analyse components, and techniques in knowledge-based systems to make inferences. 

5) Analyse characteristics to deduce logic resulting from applying reasoning system architectural algorithms to infer new inferences.

6) Examine the uncertainty issues, requirements, and explainability of machine learning systems. 

7) Analyse characteristics and results in the evaluation of certainty factor and uncertainty handling techniques.

8) Evaluate methods, models, and techniques of contemporary machine reasoning systems. 

9) Design and create artificial intelligence machine reasoning systems considering ethical issues.

The expected skills and knowledge for this course are as follows: 

• Be able to listen, speak, read, and write English proficiently in a clear and confident manner; or provide documentary evidence of Workplace Literacy (WPL) Level 6 literacy skills in the Employability Skills WSQ framework;
• Be keen to learn and participate in the learning activities in myriad learning settings such as online, laboratory, and blended learning, self-regulated learning contexts;
• Be able to source and analyse relevant materials from the library, internet or online databases for the design and development of learning resources.

The entry requirements for this course are as follows:

• Aged between 21 years old and above;
• Minimum at least Learners must have ONE GCE “O” Level;
• Able to read, listen and speak English at a proficiency level equivalent to Employability Skills System (ESS) Literacy Level 6;
• Able to count with a proficiency equivalent to Employability Skills System (ESS) Numeracy Level 6;
• Have basic computer literacy (Workplace Skills Series - Information and communication Technologies Skills).

Learners may be required to submit the relevant documents conforming to the pre-requisites for the course as stated above where necessary, if they do not meet the pre-requisites.

If the learner does not meet the entry requirement, the learner would be rejected from the course.
