3. Course Objectives

Machine learning is the study of algorithms and statistical methods that computers use to "learn" patterns and inferences in order to perform a specific task without explicit instruction. This course mainly aims at providing mathematical/statistical methods, which are essential in machine learning. A wide range of topics will be covered, including but not limited to density estimation, latent variable models, mixture models, clustering, classification, dimensionality reduction, regression, support vector machines, kernel methods, multi-layer perceptrons, and deep learning.

4. Prerequisites & require

A basic understanding of probability/statistics and linear algebra
Python programming language
