Description
This course provides an introduction to the field of machine learning:
the first half of the course will focus on specific regression and
classification techniques while the second half of the course will focus on
deep neural networks.
Pre-requisites
This class has COMP 211, COMP 212, and MATH 228 as pre-requisites.
We will cover concepts from probability and linear algebra as needed to ensure the
course is self-contained. Programming will be done in python.
Assessment
Your grade will be based on approximately 9 homework assignments (60%), a midterm exam (20%) and a final project (20%).
Assignments will be posted on the
schedule.
All work must be submitted electronically.
I will email you your grades periodically
to double-check that the information that I have is consistent with what you have.
It is your responsibility to check your grades and feedback and report any
issues promptly. It is always possible for mistakes to happen in
recording scores, especially in larger classes. If I do not hear about a
problem, it will not be fixed.
