Registrar description

This course gives a mathematical introduction to machine learning. There are three major components in this course. (1) Machine learning models (kernel methods, shallow and deep neural network models) for both supervised and unsupervised learning problems. (2) Optimization algorithms (gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent, EM). (3) Mathematical analysis of these models and algorithms.
