Teaching @ NEU
Courses Taught at Northeastern University since Fall 2015 by Prof. Sarah Ostadabbas:
Machine Learning with Small Data (EECE 7398) – Starts from: Sep 6, 2024
COURSE FEATURE
- Hours Wednesday & Fridays 11:45 AM – 1:25 PM
- Location International Village 022
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Special Topics: Machine Learning with Small Data (EECE 7398)
This course addresses the challenge of machine learning (ML) in the context of small datasets, a significant issue due to ML’s increasing data demands. Despite ML’s success in various fields, many areas can’t provide large labeled datasets because of costs, privacy, or security laws. As big data becomes standard, efficiently learning from smaller datasets is crucial. This course, ideal for Northeastern students with some ML experience, focuses on modern deep learning techniques for small data applications relevant in healthcare, military, and industry. Prerequisites include ML familiarity and Python proficiency. Deep learning experience is not necessary but beneficial.

EECE 4512 – Healthcare Technologies: Sensors, Systems, and Analysis
Examines healthcare technologies using both theory and hands-on approaches. Covers the physics and physiology behind the newly-defined concept of digital biomarkers, the electronics needed to collect these biomarkers, and analysis techniques for processing and interpreting the data. Invasive (swallowable/implantable), on-body (wearable), and contactless systems for data collection are covered. In addition, examines safety issues, ethics, and regulatory hurdles from both an industry and research perspective. In the hands-on labs, students have an opportunity to follow the steps of creating a startup or conducting new research and assemble a microcontroller-based sensor system for collecting digital biomarkers. Testing, imaging, and data collection are essential tools medical specialists use to treat patients, and the primary contribution of engineers to healthcare.
