Recently, advanced information systems have evolved to facilitate the co-evolution of human and information networks within communities. These advanced information systems use various paradigms including artificial intelligence, knowledge management, and neural science, as well as conventional information processing paradigms. Regardless of its specific objective, any system, application or service that involves the use of data, requires among its steps to carry out an in-depth analysis of the information captured, with the aim of making the most of its particular characteristics and thus transforming the data.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>knowledge relevant to decision making. This analysis begins with the extraction of the appropriate parameters from the different types of data that inform about the most significant features of the same, and if possible, detect unique representation signatures on said data. This process is generally known as feature extraction.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The objective of this training course is to present a user-friendly approach to a wide range of classic Machine Learning techniques and methods and data analysis. In this course, you will learn the basic concepts of machine learning and data mining, covering the necessary knowledge to start in this world. Within the general aspects to carry out an adequate data analysis, both the theoretical foundations and the implementation of the most used algorithms such as Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, SVM, KNN, Decision Trees and Neural Networks will be dictated. Ways of pre-processing the data will be shown, reaching a comprehensive understanding of how to clean, transform, handle categorical variables and unbalanced data. By the end of this course, you will know the ABC\u2019s of Machine Learning and you will be able to implement what you have learned on your own.

In addition, the importance of constant updating of HD maps will be discussed, since road information can change frequently. Another important issue that will be addressed in the workshop is the need to start collecting data in the countries to draw the HD maps of their main access roads to guarantee the transitability of autonomous vehicles with a view to developing the integration of these types of technologies to cover latent mobility and security needs.
