CPSC 540: Machine Learning

CPSC 540: Machine Learning (2013, University of British Columbia). Instructor: Professor Nando de Freitas. This is a graduate-level course on machine learning, a field that focuses on using automated data analysis for tasks like pattern recognition and prediction. Topics will (roughly) include linear models, density estimation, graphical models, Bayesian methods, deep learning, online/active/causal learning, reinforcement learning, and learning theory.
