This course provides an introduction on machine learning. It gives an overview of many concepts, techniques and algorithms in machine learning, beginning with topics such as classification and linear regression and ending up with more recent topics such support vector machines. The course is divided into three main topics: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and machine learning theory. Topics include: (i) Supervised learning (linear decision, non linear decision and probabilistic). (ii) Unsupervised learning (clustering, factor analysis, visualization). (iii) Learning theory (bias/variance theory, empirical risk minimization). The course will also draw from numerous case studies and applications, so that you'll also learn how to apply learning algorithms to computer vision, medical informatics, and signal analysis.

Metodologia docent

The class is divided in two parts:

-Theory (2 hours): introduce the contents of the course
-Laboratory (1 hour) which includes:

*Practical exercises related to work deliveries
*Participatory class where students talk about the readings suggested to go deeper into a subject
Note: These readings will be included as theory in the final exam

Mètode d'avaluació

The course is divided into two parts:

Exam: an exam at the end of the term
Work: Work deliveries during the semester (from W1 to W5)

Mark = a x Exam + b x Work if exam>=3,5 and Work>= 4

Each course a and b will be stablished in the following ranges: 0,4 <= a <= 0,7 and 0,3 <= b <= 0,6

Work = 0,25 x W1 + 0,25 x W2 + 0,2 x W3 + 0,2 x W4 + 0,1 x W5
