Course Description

Machine learning is an exciting and one of the fastest growing fields of research in computer science with enormous applications ranging from biology to autonomous driving, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. With ever increasing volumes and ever evolving data patterns, it is evident that the need for automated data is critical. The goal of machine learning is to develop methods that can automatically detect patterns and insights within data that are interesting, informative, yet otherwise would be impossible to retrieve. Machine learning thus closely works with statistics and data mining (refresh your calculus and probability knowledge with no further delay!), but differs slightly in terms of terminologies and objectives. This course will give you an introduction to the field and briefly describe its applications in the areas of computer vision, natural language processing, time series data etc.
