Mathematical Foundations for Machine Learning

Informations

The goal of this course is to freshen and deepen the mathematical foundations from the computer science program that are necessary for the lectures Cognitive Algorithms and Machine Learning.

Topics of the course come from analysis (differentiation), linear algebra (vector spaces, dot products, orthogonal vectors, matrices as linear maps, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors) and probability theory (multivariate probability distributions, calculations with expectation values and variances).

More information can be found on ISIS.

Credits

The course is compulsory for the modules Machine Learning 1 (M.Sc. Informatik) and Cognitive Algorithms (B.Sc. Informatik).

Registration is not necessary, students of all fields an universities are invited. Basis for the grading (2 SWS / 2 LP) is a test (90 minutes). Prerequisite for the participation in the test is the achievement of at least half of all possible points in the homework, the results in the exercises are not included in the grade.
