Synopsis:

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the selected advanced methods of machine learning. In the supervised learning scenario, they, in particular, learn kernel methods and neural networks. In the unsupervised learning scenario students learn the principal component analysis and other dimensionality reduction methods. Moreover, students get the basic principles of reinforcement learning and natural language processing.

Requirements:

The knowledge of calculus, linear algebra and probability theory is assumed. Furthermore, the knowledge of machine learning corresponding to topics covered in the course BIE-ML1 is also assumed.
