A comprehensive Machine Learning syllabus for B.Tech or M.Tech programs typically includes foundational concepts, various learning algorithms, and practical applications. The syllabus often covers topics like supervised learning (regression, classification), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction), reinforcement learning, and deep learning. Specific algorithms include linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, support vector machines, neural networks, and more. Practical experience with programming languages like Python and libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch is also a key component.
