Content
Machine Learning can be defined as a set of methods to automatically detect patterns in data which can be used to make predictions in future data. A key concept in this field is uncertainty which arises both through noise measurements and through the finite size of the datasets.
In this course we will adopt a probabilistic approach to machine learning in order to learn under uncertainty. The course is intended for Master and PhD students. Basic knowledge in probability theory and linear algebra would be useful. The main course contents are as follows and are based on the book “Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning” by Christopher M. Bishop.
