- 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.
