| Course Objectives | The field of machine learning is concerned with the question of how to construct computer programs that improve automatically with experience. In recent years, many successful applications of machine learning have been developed, ranging from data-mining programs that learn to detect fraudulent credit card transactions, to autonomous vehicles that learn to drive on public highways. At the same time, there have been important advances in the theory and algorithms that form the foundation of this field. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the state-of-art algorithms used in machine learning. Both the theoretical properties of these algorithms and their practical applications will be discussed. |
