Description

The intent of this course is to present a broad introduction to Machine Learning, the study of computing systems that improve their performance with experience, including discussions of each of the major approaches (see the course syllabus). The primary focus of the course will be on understanding the underlying algorithms used in various learning systems. Class lectures will discuss general issues as well as present abstract algorithms. Implemented versions of many of the algorithms will be provided in order to give a feel for how the systems discussed in class "really work" and allow for experimentation.

Prerequisites

Graduate standing required. CS 381K or equivalent knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and LISP.
