Content

Machine learning is concerned with building computer systems that improve with experience as well as the study of learning processes, including the design of algorithms that are able to make predictions or extract knowledge from data. The aim of this module is to provide an introduction into the field of machine learning, and study algorithms, underlying concepts, and theoretical principles.

  • Basics of machine learning
  • Inference and prediction
  • Selected classification and regression models
  • Kernels
  • Probabilistic graphical models
  • Introduction to neural networks

Lecture Notes

Lecture notes, exercises, assignments, and supplementary material can be found in ILIAS.
