Syllabus
Supervised machine learning (linear and generalized linear regression, neural networks, classification with support vector machines, kernel methods, discrete classifiers). Machine learning theory (statistical model of machine learning, bias-variance trade-off, overfitting and underfitting, PAC learning, VC dimension estimates). Unsupervised machine learning (clustering, self-organizing maps, principal component analysis). Reinforcement learning. Ensemble learning (bagging, boosting).
 
Recommended literature
The lectures will be loosely inspired by the recommended literature and will cover only some chapters. Lectures will be the primary source of information for the exam.

Complaints about grades

All complaints about homework grades must be submitted in writing within two weeks of the time when the graded solutions are available, but no later than on the business day before the exam date. By examining your solution in more detail, the grade can be increased or decreased. Before submitting a claim, carefully read the relevant materials.
 

AI Usage Policy

Unless otherwise specified, you are allowed to use AI in the way analogous to discussions with your classmates. You are allowed to discuss the assignments with AI, but after such discussions you must discard all notes and you should wait for several hours before writing up your own solution without using the AI.

In addition, you are allowed to use AI tools for grammar correction or syntax completion. Unless specified otherwise, do not use tools that would write significant portions of your text or your code.

In all cases, it is mandatory to declare AI use and describe how you used AI.
 

Academic Integrity

Copying homework assignments, projects and cheating on exams is a serious violation of academic integrity.

Cheating on homework assignments and projects include copying work of somebody else (i.e. classmate, internet, literature) and handing the work under your name, allowing somebody else to copy your work, or excessive collaboration. Cheating on exam includes use of unauthorized devices, as well as communication with others during the exam.

The standard penalty for cheating on homework assignment is a grade of -100%. Penalty for cheating on exam is Fx with no option of retaking the exam. Serious infraction will be reported to the faculty disciplinary committee.

With respect to homeworks, we encourage discussion between students and in groups. However, the solution you hand in must be your own and described in your own words. To avoid problems, do not keep any notes from such discussions and wait for several hours after the discussion before writing up your own solution. If you choose to discuss homeworks with you classmates, it is mandatory to declare with whom you discussed your assignments and to what detail.
