Course Objectives This course provides a statistical foundation for machine learning, and introduces the students to machine learning algorithms based on this foundation. Students learn to apply such algorithms to practical problems and utilize the statistical insights to select appropriate algorithms, and interpret the accuracy of resulting models.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • define supervised learning versus unsupervised learning.
  • list basic machine learning models.
  • build different types of models for a range of applications, using available programming tools.
  • measure model accuracy and flexibility using statistical methods.
  • refine machine learning models by utilizing accuracy and flexibility analysis.
Course Description Fundamentals of probabilistic reasoning and linear algebra, linear regression, nonlinear models, cross validation and bootstrapping, model selection, decision trees, and support vector machines.
