6.867 Machine Learning
Fall 2013
Instructor: Tommi S Jaakkola
TAs: Georgiana Andreea Gane, Noel Hollingsworth, David Matthew Rosen
Lecture: TR9.30-11 (54-100)
Information:
Machine learning is about design, analysis, and the application
of computer programs that learn from experience. The goal of
learning is prediction, decision making, or control. This graduate
subject will cover many key concepts, techniques, and algorithms in
machine learning, emphasizing methods that are broadly useful
across engineering and sciences. We begin with topics such as
support vector machines and end up with more recent topics such as
non-parametric generative models. The course aims to give the
students insights and some intuition for the methods and algorithms
as well as a bit more formal understanding of why and when they
work. The underlying theme in the course is statistical inference
as it provides the foundation for most of the methods
covered.
