Course Objective	This course covers a broad classes of machine learning algorithms. After taking this course, students should be able to conduct research in this field. The emphasis of this course is not in the theoretical development (math), but in the understanding level. Therefore, many examples will be given in the lecture to show how to apply the equations to real problems. The detailed contents are given in the course schedule field. Prerequisite: Calculus (partial derivatives), undergrad linear algebra (eigenvalues & eigenvectors), undergrad probability (random variable, joint density, Gaussian distribution), and programming skills (Python)
Course Schedule	Week 1: Class announcement and introduction to machine learning Week 2: introduction to machine learning (cont'd) Week 3: Basics of supervised learning (classification and regression), VC dimension, Bayesian decision theory, and Naive Bayes classifiers Week 4: Dimension reduction techniques: PCA, FA, LDA and ICA, Week 5: Unsupervised learning: Clustering algorithm (k-means) Week 6: Decision trees: ID3, C4.5, and bagging algorithm (random forest) Week 7: Basics of optimization Week 8: Basics of optimization (Cont'd) and gradient search Week 9: MT Week 10: MT sol. Week 11: Feedforward neural networks with examples: multi-layer perceptrons, Back propagation, and Regularization methods Week 12: Deep learning and convolutional neural networks Week 13, 14: More on deep neural networks: YOLO, Autoencoder, LSTM, and advanced topics, such as Bayesian networks, confidence of classification, and self-supervised learning Week 15: SVM, Adaboost, and Ensemble learning Week 16: Final exam Week 17: Presentation Week 18: Presentation
