CSCI 1420 - Machine Learning
We explore the theory and practice of statistical machine learning, focusing on computational methods for supervised and unsupervised data analysis. Specific topics include Bayesian and maximum likelihood parameter estimation, regularization and sparsity-promoting priors, kernel methods, the expectation maximization algorithm, and models for data with temporal or hierarchical structure. Applications to regression, categorization, clustering, and dimensionality reduction problems are illustrated by examples from vision, language, bioinformatics, and information retrieval. Prerequisites: CSCI 0040 or 0150 or 0180 or 0190; and CSCI 0450 or CSCI 1450 or APMA 1650 or MATH 1610; and CSCI 0530 or MATH 0520 or 0540; or instructor permission.
