CS 57600 - Machine Learning

Machine Learning is concerned with computer programs that “automatically” improve their performance through experience (based on data). As an introductory course to machine learning, the course introduces the fundamentals of modern machine learning. It will give a broad overview of many concepts and algorithms in machine learning, ranging from supervised learning to unsupervised learning. Topics include decision tree learning, instance-based learning, perceptron and linear modeling, probabilistic modeling, neural networks, support vector machines, ensemble learning, learning theory, and unsupervised learning with clustering. This course will provide a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on experience in solving real-world problems through the application of machine learning. Basic computer science concepts, data structure, algorithm, programming experience, knowledge of linear algebra, basic statistics, and probability is required.
