Summary
This course provides in-depth understanding of the most fundamental algorithms in statistical pattern recognition or machine learning (including Deep Learning) as well as concrete tools (as Python source code) to PhD students for their work.
Content
This course will cover the broad regression, classification and probability distribution modeling methods and more particularly: Linear regression, Logistic regression, k-NN, Decision Trees, Boosting, Dimensionality reduction (PCA, LDA, t-SNE), k-Means, GMMs, MLPs, CNNs, SVMs.
