Buhmann Betreuer: Vorlesung: Link zum Kurskatalog Fall 2017 Webseite: Ziele: Students will be familiarized with the most important concepts and algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning; reinforce the statistics knowledge which is indispensible to solve modeling problems under uncertainty. Key concepts are the generalization ability of algorithms and systematic approaches to modeling and regularization. A machine learning project will provide an opportunity to test the machine learning algorithms on real world data. Vorlesungslevel: D-ITET Master, Systems and Control specialization Supplementary Core Courses Voraussetzungen: Solid basic knowledge in analysis, statistics and numerical methods for CSE. Experience in programming for solving the project tasks. Inhalt: The theory of fundamental machine learning concepts is presented in the lecture, and illustrated with relevant applications. Students can deepen their understanding by solving both pen-and-paper and programming exercises, where they implement and apply famous algorithms to real-world data. Topics covered in the lecture include: - Bayesian theory of optimal decisions - Maximum likelihood and Bayesian parameter inference - Classification with discriminant functions: Perceptrons, Fisher's LDA and support vector machines (SVM) - Ensemble methods: Bagging and Boosting - Regression: least squares, ridge and LASSO penalization, non-linear regression and the bias-variance trade-off - Non parametric density estimation: Parzen windows, nearest nieghbour - Dimension reduction: principal component analysis (PCA) and beyond http://www.vvz.ethz.ch/Vorlesungsverzeichnis/lerneinheitPre.do?lerneinheitId=61111&semkez=2009W&lang=enerneinheitId=61111&semkez=2009W&lang=en Dokumentation: No lecture notes, but slides will be made available on the course webpage.
