The pressure exerted by the population increase, the sensitivity toward the environment, and the ever-increasing cost of the land, are just some of the reasons why underground excavations are necessary to societys health and future providing room for services, transportation of people and goods, water supply and disposal, sanitation, and storage.

The topics in this course come from an analysis of real requirements in data scientist job listings from the biggest tech employers. We'll cover the machine learning, AI, and data mining techniques real employers are looking for, including: Deep Learning / Neural Networks (MLP's, CNN's, RNN's) with TensorFlow and Keras + Sentiment analysis + Image recognition and classification + Regression analysis + K-Means Clustering + Principal Component Analysis + Train/Test and cross validation + Bayesian Methods + Decision Trees and Random Forests + Multivariate Regression + Multi-Level Models + Support Vector Machines + Reinforcement Learning + Collaborative Filtering + K-Nearest Neighbor + Bias/Variance Tradeoff + Ensemble Learning + Term Frequency / Inverse Document Frequency + Experimental Design and A/B Tests.

Machine Learning, Classification and Algorithms using MATLAB: Learn to Implement Classification Algorithms In One of the Most Power Tool used by Scientists and Engineer.

 This course is designed to cover one of the most interesting areas of machine learning called classification. I will take you step-by-step in this course and will first cover the basics of MATLAB. Following that we will look into the details of how to use different machine learning algorithms using MATLAB. Specifically, we will be looking at the MATLAB toolbox called statistic and machine learning toolbox. We will implement some of the most commonly used classification algorithms such as K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, Discriminant Analysis, Decision Tress, Support Vector Machines, Error Correcting Output Codes and Ensembles. Following that we will be looking at how to cross validate these models and how to evaluate their performances. Intuition into the classification algorithms is also included so that a person with no mathematical background can still comprehend the essential ideas. The following are the course outlines. Segment 1: Grabbing and Importing Dataset + Segment 2: K-Nearest Neighbor + Segment 3: Naive Bayes + Segment 4: Decision Trees + Segment 5: Discriminant Analysis + Segment 6: Support Vector Machines + Segment 7: Error Correcting Output Codes + Segment 8: Classification with Ensembles + Segment 9: Validation Methods + Segment 10: Evaluating Performance.

This key text is written for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. It delivers a complete introduction to finite element methods and to automatic adaptation (error estimation) that will enable students to understand and use FEA as a true engineering tool. It has been specifically developed to be accessible to non-mathematics students and provides the only complete text for FEA with error estimators for non-mathematicians. Error estimation is taught on nearly half of all FEM courses for engineers at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level; no other existing textbook for this market covers this topic. * The only introductory FEA text with error estimation for students of engineering, scientific computing and applied mathematics * Includes source code for creating and proving FEA error estimators * Complete with homework exercises and supporting website with instructor's solutions manual.

Structural Analysis with Finite Elements develops the foundations and applications of the finite element method in structural analysis in a language which is familiar to structural engineers. At the same time, it uncovers the structural mechanics behind the finite element method. This innovative text explores and explains issues such as: why finite element results are "wrong", why support reactions are relatively accurate, why stresses at midpoints are more reliable, why averaging the stresses sometimes may not help or why the equilibrium conditions are violated. An additional chapter treats the boundary element method and related software is available at www.winfem.de. Structural Analysis with Finite Elements provides a new foundation for the finite element method that enables structural engineers to address key questions that arise in computer modelling of structures with finite elements.
