| 252-0945-17L | Doctoral Seminar Machine Learning (HS23)  Only for Computer Science Ph.D. students. This doctoral seminar is intended for PhD students affiliated with the Institute for Machine Learning. Other PhD students who work on machine learning projects or related topics need approval by at least one of the organizers to register for the seminar. | 2 KP | 1S | N. He, V. Boeva, J. M. Buhmann, R. Cotterell, T. Hofmann, A. Krause, G. Rätsch, M. Sachan, J. Vogt, F. Yang | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | An essential aspect of any research project is dissemination of the findings arising from the study. Here we focus on oral communication, which includes: appropriate selection of material, preparation of the visual aids (slides and/or posters), and presentation skills. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The seminar participants should learn how to prepare and deliver scientific talks as well as to deal with technical questions. Participants are also expected to actively contribute to discussions during presentations by others, thus learning and practicing critical thinking skills. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | This doctoral seminar of the Machine Learning Laboratory of ETH is intended for PhD students who work on a machine learning project, i.e., for the PhD students of the ML lab. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 252-5051-00L | Advanced Topics in Machine Learning The deadline for deregistering expires at the end of the second week of the semester. Students who are still registered after that date, but do not attend the seminar, will officially fail the seminar. | 2 KP | 2S | J. M. Buhmann, R. Cotterell, M. El-Assady, N. He, F. Yang | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | In this seminar, recent papers of the pattern recognition and machine learning literature are presented and discussed. Possible topics cover statistical models in computer vision, graphical models and machine learning. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The seminar "Advanced Topics in Machine Learning" familiarizes students with recent developments in pattern recognition and machine learning. Original articles have to be presented and critically reviewed. The students will learn how to structure a scientific presentation in English which covers the key ideas of a scientific paper. An important goal of the seminar presentation is to summarize the essential ideas of the paper in sufficient depth while omitting details which are not essential for the understanding of the work. The presentation style will play an important role and should reach the level of professional scientific presentations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The seminar will cover a number of recent papers which have emerged as important contributions to the pattern recognition and machine learning literature. The topics will vary from year to year but they are centered on methodological issues in machine learning like new learning algorithms, ensemble methods or new statistical models for machine learning applications. Frequently, papers are selected from computer vision or bioinformatics - two fields, which relies more and more on machine learning methodology and statistical models. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literatur | The papers will be presented in the first session of the seminar. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | In this class, we bring together data science applications provided by ETH researchers outside computer science and teams of computer science master's students. Two to three students will form a team working on data science/machine learning-related research topics provided by scientists in a diverse range of domains such as astronomy, biology, social sciences etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The goal of this class if for students to gain experience of dealing with data science and machine learning applications "in the wild". Students are expected to go through the full process starting from data cleaning, modeling, execution, debugging, error analysis, and quality/performance refinement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Prerequisites: At least 8 KP must have been obtained under Data Analysis and at least 8 KP must have been obtained under Data Management and Processing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | This course is aimed at advanced master and doctorate students who want to conduct independent research on theory for modern machine learning (ML). It teaches standard methods in statistical learning theory commonly used to prove theoretical guarantees for ML algorithms. The knowledge is then applied in independent project work to understand and follow-up on recent theoretical ML results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | By the end of the semester students should be able to - understand a good fraction of theory papers published in the typical ML venues. For this purpose, students will learn common mathematical techniques from statistical learning in the first part of the course and apply this knowledge in the project work - critically examine recently published work in terms of relevance and find impactful (novel) research problems. This will be an integral part of the project work and involves experimental as well as theoretical questions - outline a possible approach to prove a conjectured theorem by e.g. reducing to more solvable subproblems. This will be practiced in in-person exercises, homeworks and potentially in the final project - effectively communicate and present the problem motivation, new insights and results to a technical audience. This will be primarily learned via the final presentation and report as well as during peer-grading of peer talks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | This course touches upon foundational methods in statistical learning theory aimed at proving theoretical guarantees for machine learning algorithms. It touches on the following topics - concentration bounds - uniform convergence and empirical process theory - regularization for non-parametric statistics (e.g. in RKHS, neural networks) - high-dimensional learning - computational and statistical learnability (information-theoretic, PAC, SQ) - overparameterized models, implicit bias and regularization The project work focuses on current theoretical ML research that aims to understand modern phenomena in machine learning, including but not limited to - how overparameterized models generalize (statistically) and converge (computationally) - complexity measures and approximation theoretic properties of randomly initialized and trained neural networks - generalization of robust learning (adversarial or distribution-shift robustness) - private and fair learning | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Students should have a very strong mathematical background (real analysis, probability theory, linear algebra) and solid knowledge of core concepts in machine learning taught in courses such as “Introduction to Machine Learning”, “Regression”/ “Statistical Modelling”. In addition to these prerequisites, this class requires a high degree of mathematical maturity—including abstract thinking and the ability to understand and write proofs. Students have usually taken a subset of Fundamentals of Mathematical Statistics, Probabilistic AI, Neural Network Theory, Optimization for Data Science, Advanced ML, Statistical Learning Theory, Probability Theory (D-MATH) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
