MACHINE LEARNING AND DEEP LEARNING

Catalog description

(Slashed with CS 54202 ) This course provides an overview of some fundamental concepts, techniques and algorithms in machine learning and deep learning, and will give students a basic understanding (ideas and intuitions) of how modern machine learning works. Specifically, there are three main objectives: 1. To help student get familiar with the fundamental mathematical tools (linear algebra, probability theory, statistical inference, numerical optimization, and learning theory) which lays the foundation of machine learning algorithms and techniques; 2. To introduce the core machine learning concepts and topics, such as linear regression, classification, SVM, and neural networks (and its deep variants); in addition, we will utilize the recommendation system for students to learn how real world machine system works; 3. Teach students how to program and use the latest machine learning packages, such as Tensorflow.
