Machine learning using MATLAB

This one-semester course provides a first introduction to machine learning including the following topics:

  • Linear regression
  • Logistic regression
  • Support vector machines
  • Deep Neural network
  • Dimensionality reduction
  • Clustering
  • Anomaly detection

complemented by a exercise session of practical Matlab exercises. 

Notice:

  • Our lecture room has changed from Z613 to G305!
  • We will have a quiz on 19th December!
  • 19th December:   Deadline to submit your group list and project proposal (Title plus a few sentences to describe your project). Late proposal submission will be rejected!
  • The submission deadline of technical report is 29.03.2019
  • The template for technical report can be downloaded from the link (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html), please note that the page limit is 4 pages. 

Presentation schedule

Each group has 30 mins to present their project and 15 mins of Q&A. When you are doing your presentation, you may not finish your model training and performance evaluation, so you are allowed to present your motivation, framework of your approach, data collection, etc.
