SummerML 2014 - PhD Summer School on Machine Learning

02901 Advanced Topics in Machine Learning
August 25-29, 2014 at the Section for Cognitive Systems, DTU Compute
Description
The course consists of five days (Mon-Friday) of lectures and exercises on key topics in machine learning. The course (2.5 ects point) is passed by handing in a small report on one of the topics covered in the course. The course will cover key topics in machine learning including probabilistic multivariate modeling and Bayesian inference. The exercises cover both theoretical, technical programming and application aspects. It will be up to the students to decide on what aspects to focus on in the report. Specific machine learning application examples are used throughout the entire week. For further course details click here.
