Goal(s)

This course aims at giving some basis of statistical inference as well as some elementary ML tools, with illustrations borrowed from Physics and Materials science. Links to other lecture of the cursus will be given such as initiation to experiment design and research. This course is to serve as an introductory resource for those looking to transition to more industry-oriented projects as well as academic research as data scientists or researchers. A familiarity with ML is often a prerequisite for many of the most exciting employment opportunities (academic and industry).
