Past Hacker Dojo Machine Learning Class 101 & 102 Beginning Applied Learning
Organizer: Doug Chang
Instructors: Dr. Michael Bowles & Dr. Patricia Hoffman
We've put together three sequences of classes. Our objective for the second sequence is to enable you to read the current literature, to implement algorithms based on what you read and to extend or modify methods in the current machine learning oeuvre in order to suit the needs of your particular problems. The first sequence will cover basic techniques in ML at sufficient depth that you will be able to immediately apply the techniques you've learned to real problems. The first session (Machine Learning 101) in this sequence covered basic techniques in ML at sufficient depth that you will be able to immediately apply the techniques you've learned to real problems. This second five week session (Machine Learning 102) will culminate in the students giving presentations on papers they have read.
We're going to use R as our lingua franca for looking at homework problems, discussing them and comparing different solution approaches. Load R onto your laptop or desk computer before you come to the first class. http://cran.r-project.org/ We will include some descriptive material on using R in the first two lectures in order to get everyone up to speed on it.
