Aims and objectives of the course: Knowledge of the most important concepts and methods form the areas machine learning, neural networks, statistical modelling and classification.

Covered Topics:

  • Introduction to Machine Learning
  • Learning Algorithms for Neural Networks
  • Algorithm independent Machine Learning
  • Practical Classification Algorithms
  • Unsupervised Learning
  • Hidden Markov Models
  • Graphical Models

Prerequisites

There are no particular courses which must be taken as prerequisites for this course. Although there will be an introduction to MATLAB in the beginning of the exercises, it is recommended to have already some basic knowledge and experience in it. We also assume elementary mathematical knowledge in probability theory, statistics, analysis and calculus.
