Introduction to machine learning (BA4)
Weekly outline
-
Welcome to the machine learning class!
Machine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in many sciences and applications. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced, analyzed and practically implemented using Python.

Organization
The lectures will be taught live, during the official class hours, i.e., Tuesdays 8:15-10:00 in CM3.
The class has a SWITCHtube channel where we have the links of the 2020/2021 lectures (link to the channel: https://tube.switch.ch/channels/97cd11b0 ). The content of the lectures will be very similar, but there may be minor changes.
The exercise sessions will be held in-person weekly in CE1100, CE1101, CE1103 on Tuesdays 10:15-12:00 and will consist of implementing the machine learning methods learned in class. The TAs will be present to answer questions.CE1100: Students with last names starting with A-D
CE1101: Students with last names starting with E-M
CE1103: Students with last names starting with N-Z
Discussion Forum
If you have any questions please post them in the discussion forum and we will answer you.
Graded Exercises
We will have two graded exercise sessions, which will occur during the regular exercise session hours in the classrooms. The graded exercises will take place on 05.04.22 and 24.05.22. Each one will count for 10% of your final grade.
Final Exam
The final exam, if possible, will be held on-campus. It will be closed book and will count for 80% of your final grade. You will be allowed to have one A4 sheet (both sides) of handwritten notes.
