Synopsis:

In this course, students are introduced to those fields of mathematics that are necessary for understanding standard methods and algorithms used in data science. The studied topics include mainly: linear algebra (matrix factorisations, eigenvalues, diagonalization), continuous optimisation (optimisation with constraints, duality principle, gradient methods) and selected notions from probability theory and statistics.

Requirements:

Knowledge of basic notions of linear algebra and matrix theory, basics of probability theory, course MI-MPI: Mathematics for informatics.

Syllabus of lectures:

1) Mathematical formulation of regression and classification problem.

2) Geometrical view of linear regression model and least squares method (LS).

3) Computing the LS estimate (QR decomposition of a matrix).

4) Hypothesis tests for linear model, model validation.

5) Variable subset selection: ridge regression, best-subset selection, etc.

7) Singular value decomposition and its connection with ridge regression.

8) [2] Principal component analysis and dimensionality reduction.

10) Linear regression and classification.

11) Logistic regression.

12) Local regression and smoothing methods (splines, kernels).

13) [2] Support vector machines.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1) Least squares method.

2) Matrix factorisation and matrix eigenvalues.

3) Usage of linear regression and related methods.

4) Principal component analysis.

5) Logistic regression.

6) Support vector machines.
