Chapter 17 Machine learning

Machine learning is a growing field of data analysis where the building of models is iterated automatically. This is particularly important in areas where new data is being collected on an on-going basis (examples often used are Netflix recommendations and amazon`s “Recommended for you”).

  • “This is a graduate course on some theoretical aspects of machine learning. The emphasis is on foundations and on results with rigorous proofs. The viewpoint is much more computational than statistical.”
