Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Experimental Design for Machine Learning
The University of Nottingham
The course looked at key points to consider when designing experiments to obtain data for analysis using current machine and deep learning methods, in particular image data from plant phenotyping experiments. We covered data collection, data handling, and interpretation and communication of results.
