This document is an attempt to provide a summary of the mathematical background needed for an introductory class in machine learning, which at UC Berkeley is known as CS 189/289A. Our assumption is that the reader is already familiar with the basic concepts of multivariable calculus and linear...
The generalization ability of a learning algorithm depends on the appropriateness of its representation language to express a generalization of the examples for the given task. Different learning algorithms employ different representations, search heuristics, evaluation functions, and search...
The book is designed to appeal to students with only a modest mathematical background in undergraduate calculus and linear algebra. No formal computer science or statistical background is required to follow the book, although a basic familiarity with probability, calculus and linear algebra would...
Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a principled, practical, probabilistic approach to learning in kernel machines. GPs have received increased attention in the machine-learning community over the past decade, and this book provides a long-needed systematic and unified treatment of theoretical and...
Deep learning is a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) that imitates the way humans gain certain types of knowledge. Deep learning is an important element of data science, which includes statistics and predictive modeling. As of late, deep learning is gaining much popularity...
Archimedes is known as the Father of Mathematics. It is one of the ancient sciences developed in time immemorial. Algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics & probability are considered to be the 4 main branches of mathematics. It is also broadly divided into pure mathematics and applied...
It seems like these days you can learn just about anything online for free, but of course some of that information is better than others. There are probably many more advantages to Internet-based courses, but I think you get the idea. The point is that we live in an ever-changing world that is...
Inventors have long dreamed of creating machines that think. This desire dates back to at least the time of ancient Greece. The mythical ?gures Pygmalion,Daedalus, and Hephaestus may all be interpreted as legendary inventors, and Galatea, Talos, and Pandora may all be regarded as artificial life...
This book is aimed at senior undergraduates and graduate students in Engineering, Science, Mathematics, and Computing. It expects familiarity with calculus, probability theory, and linear algebra as taught in a first or second year undergraduate course on mathematics for scientists and engineers....
