    OVERVIEW

    The goal of this course is to provide an overview of classical Machine Learning algorithms, discussing modeling and computational aspects.

    AIMS AND CONTENT

    LEARNING OUTCOMES

    Learning how to use classical supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms by grasping the underlying computational and modeling issues.

    AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

    Students will be provided with basic ideas behind statistical learning and a number of prototypical supervised approaches, including, local methods, regularization networks, linear and non linear models. The Course also covers basic unsupervised problems such as clustering and dimensionality reduction. Special effort is devoted to discussing how to set up a reliable machine learning pipeline.

    Students will be involved in project activities.

    PREREQUISITES

    Basic probability, calculus, linear algebra, programming.

    TEACHING METHODS

    Classes and practical lab sessions.
