Learning objectives
Machine learning is concerned with the design of algorithms that can predict the evolution of a phenomenon based of a set of observations. Machine learning is a standard tool in the development of intelligent systems. It has been successfully applied to a wide range of domains, including vision, human-computer interaction, product recommendation, health, autonomous navigation, and many more. The course will describe and analyze, in a rigorous statistical framework, the most important machine learning techniques. This will provide the student with a rich set of methodological tools for understanding the general phenomenon of learning in machines.
