Sylabus: Machine learning has received enormous interest. To learn from data we use probability theory, which has been the mainstay of statistics and engineering for centuries. The class will focus on implementations for physical problems. Topics: Gaussian probabilities, linear models for regression, linear models for classification, neural networks, kernel methods, support vector machines, graphical models, mixture models, sampling methods, sequential estimation. Prerequisites: graduate standing.
It is not a computer science class, so we go slowly through the fundamentals to appreciate the methods, implement these. We will discuss their use in Physical Sciences. In the first part of the class we focus on theory and implementations. We will then transition to focus on machine learning final projects.
Books (available online): Main book:

We will start from chapter 6
Other good books:
In the past, I have used the Bishop book, some residue will remain
Chris M Bishop
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning .
A third party Matlab implementation of the many
algorithms in the book.
Hastie and Tibshirani
The Elements of Statistical Learning
Kevin P. Murphy:
Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective. UCSD license
. Matlab codes used in Murphy's
book.
Online resources: While not required, I recommend taking these classes. Both
are online classes are excellent.
Statistical
Learning by Hastie and Tibshirani. My favorite class.
Andrew Ng's Coursera class, Machine learning. This was the first class offered
by Coursera.
Grading: Full scale of the letter grade. Grade consists of About
50 % homework and 50% final-project (10% poster, 10 % code and 30 % Report). Your and my purpose
is to lean, so a good effort is sufficient.
Homework Homework will be graded. I'm a strong believer in leaning by doing. Thus we will
have computer-based homework each week.
Final project: Propose a topic before May 1.
We will make teams on ~April 26.
Suggested topics (see last years projects
Spring 2019 ,
Spring 2018, and Spring 2017
