TION


The field of machine learning is concerned with the
question of how to construct computer programs
that improve
automatically with experience
.
This
introductory course on machine learning will give an
overview of many concepts, techniques, and
algorithms in machine learning, beginning with
topics such as linear regression and ending up with
more recent topics such a
s boosting, support vector
machines, hidden Markov models, and Bayesian
networks. The course will give the audience the
basic ideas and intuition behind modern machine
learning methods as well as a bit more formal
understanding of how, why, and when they
work
.


About the course


Machine learning (ML) is one of the fastest growing
areas of science. It is largely responsible for the rise
of giant data companies such as Google, and it has
been central to the development of lucrative
products, such as
Microsoft’s Kinect, Amazon’s
recommender system, the spam detection systems
of Facebook, and the advertising engines of these
and many other companies. ML is the key enabling
technology behind face detection in consumer
cameras, news personalization, book
and movie
recommender systems, image and video search,
credit card fraud detection, speech recognition
systems, and many more applications that most
people have begun to take for granted. ML has also
begun to make it possible to have automatically
-
driven c
ars, more efficient energy management
systems, and improved systems for health
-
care
management.
