The core spirit of machine learning is to learn the relevance of the data hidden in the data from the existing data through the mathematical model of the fusion hypothesis, so as to achieve the purposes of quantitative analysis, inference exploration, prediction, decision-making, etc. Machine learning can be roughly divided into two categories: machine learning hand-crafted features and deep learning. The main difference between the two is that the former is artificially designed and selected to describe the characteristics of the data, while the latter relies on deep learning theory to extract features.

This course mainly focuses on the introduction and exploration of the first type of machine learning (machine learning with hand-crafted features). The course uses actual medical imaging data to introduce typical methods of hand-crafting various features. And through actual clinical problems, implement hand-crafted features and understand their advantages and disadvantages. At the same time, in the part of machine learning algorithm, it will cover a variety of supervised, unsupervised and hybrid learning methods, such as: Linear Discrimination, decision Tree, Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, Bayesian Learning, Clustering, Reinforcement Learning and other methods.

This course is designed for higher intermediate learners. The course covers Vietnamese intermediate grammar, reading Vietnamese short articles, discussions in Vietnamese, and idioms and phrases.

This course is mainly designed for undergraduate students in the field of engineering, electrical engineering and computer science to provide basic knowledge on computer networks. The content of the course focuses on the analysis of the development trend of communication networks and its underlying principles; the design of communication protocols, and basic network performance analysis and simulation. The course covers Medium Access Control (MAC Layer), Network Layer, and Transport Layer. This course also provides the foundation for the "Network and Multimedia Experiment" course of NTUEE and other advanced courses on networking and and wireless networks. 

This course is an introduction to Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. It covers sections 1-184, which is about one third of the book.
