Synopsis:
Machine learning is concerned with computer programs
that automatically improve their performance with past experiences.
Machine learning draws inspiration from many fields, artificial
intelligence, statistics, information theory, biology and control
theory.
The objective of this course is to introduce the student to the basic theory and algorithms that form the foundation of machine learning. The course will cover the following topics
Organisation:
The course is largely self-contained and has
no prerequisites other than basic knowledge of Computer
Science and programming in C/C++. To earn units, a student
would be expected to submit two to three homework assignments and a final
term project. The number of units granted for the course depends
on the scope and complexity of the term project. The project involves
the implementation of a machine learning algorithm and its
application to a specific problem. The results of the project
are to be documented in a report. There will be no final examination.
