General
Aim
  • To give knowledge about the basic theory for Machine Learning -- construction of automatised systems that can learn/gather information from data, for example learn to recognize characters in a hand-written text.
Contents
  • * Training, testing, generalization, hypothesis spaces.
    *Linear regression and classification.
    *Kernel methods and support vector machines.
    *Graphical models.
    *Mixture models, Expectation Maximization.
    *Variational and sampling methods
