The main concepts discussed are: Objects, Data Abstraction, Data Encapsulation, Polymorphism, and Inheritance with practical implementation using contemporary programming language constructs. The aim is to familiarise students to the object-oriented programming paradigm, analysis and software development. The programming skills are further enhanced by teaching data structures and algorithms underpinning efficient manipulation, storage and retrieval of data. Students are exposed to the concepts of time and space complexity of computer programs.<\/p>\n<p>The module introduces object-oriented design, history and advantages of the paradigm, classes, objects, data encapsulation, constructors, destructors, access modifiers, function overloading, operator overloading, association of classes: composition, aggregation and inheritance; polymorphism, abstract classes and interfaces, generic programming concepts, data and object serialization using object streams and exception handling. The module further familiarizes students with concepts of creating, storing, retrieving, ordering, and manipulation of abstract data structures and the basics of analysis of algorithms and growth of functions. Concepts of linked lists, stacks, queues, trees and graphs are discussed along with recursion and divide and conquer algorithms. Techniques of sorting (selection, insertion, merge, quick, bubble, heap and radix etc.), priority queues, sorted linked lists, binary search, traversal of trees and graphs, greedy algorithms, spanning trees, hashing and indexing are discussed and practical implementation of these using a contemporary programming language is demonstrated.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of this module is on developing algorithmic thinking, object-oriented programming knowledge, skills and understanding based on medium complexity programmes.

Typical applications include: computer vision, speech recognition, and intelligent robots. The learning models come in various forms, such as parametric and non-parametric and probability distributions. The emphasis is on creating these models automatically from data provided and for them to act without necessarily being explicitly programmed, for example, creating a face recognition system from a data set of facial images. In the past decade, machine learning has given society effective web search, self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, and an understanding of the human genome.<\/p>\n<p>In this module, students will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice in implementing them successfully. Additionally, students will learn about the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning. Topics covered include: concepts of statistics &amp; probability, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, matrix operations, backpropagation using partial derivatives, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, support vector machines and best practices in machine learning.
