Katalogdaten
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course introduces the foundations of learning and making predictions based on data. |
| Lernziel | The course will introduce the foundations of learning and making predictions from data. We will study basic concepts such as trading goodness of fit and model complexitiy. We will discuss important machine learning algorithms used in practice, and provide hands-on experience in a course project. |
| Inhalt | - Linear regression (overfitting, cross-validation/bootstrap, model selection, regularization, [stochastic] gradient descent) - Linear classification: Logistic regression (feature selection, sparsity, multi-class) - Kernels and the kernel trick (Properties of kernels; applications to linear and logistic regression); k-nearest neighbor - Neural networks (backpropagation, regularization, convolutional neural networks) - Unsupervised learning (k-means, PCA, neural network autoencoders) - The statistical perspective (regularization as prior; loss as likelihood; learning as MAP inference) - Statistical decision theory (decision making based on statistical models and utility functions) - Discriminative vs. generative modeling (benefits and challenges in modeling joint vy. conditional distributions) - Bayes' classifiers (Naive Bayes, Gaussian Bayes; MLE) - Bayesian approaches to unsupervised learning (Gaussian mixtures, EM) |

Leistungskontrolle
| Information zur Leistungskontrolle (gültig bis die Lerneinheit neu gelesen wird) | |
Leistungskontrolle als Semesterkurs | |
| ECTS Kreditpunkte | 8 KP |
| Prüfende | A. Krause |
| Form | Sessionsprüfung |
| Prüfungssprache | Englisch |
| Repetition | Die Leistungskontrolle wird nur in der Session nach der Lerneinheit angeboten. Die Repetition ist nur nach erneuter Belegung möglich. |
| Prüfungsmodus | schriftlich 120 Minuten |
| Zusatzinformation zum Prüfungsmodus | 70% session examination, 30% project; the final grade will be calculated as weighted average of both these elements. As a compulsory continuous performance assessment task, the project must be passed on its own and has a bonus/penalty function. Die Prüfung kann am Computer stattfinden / The exam might take place at a computer. The practical projects are an integral part (60 hours of work, 2 credits) of the course. Participation is mandatory. Failing the project results in a failing grade for the overall examination of Introduction to Machine Learning (252-0220-00L). Students who do not pass the project are required to de-register from the exam and will otherwise be treated as a no show. |
| Hilfsmittel schriftlich | Two A4-pages (i.e. one A4-sheet of paper), either handwritten or 11 point minimum font size. |
| Digitale Prüfung | Die Prüfung findet auf Geräten statt, die von der ETH Zürich zur Verfügung gestellt werden. |
| Diese Angaben können noch zu Semesterbeginn aktualisiert werden; verbindlich sind die Angaben auf dem Prüfungsplan. | |
