INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

This course is no longer being offered. It is replaced by the course Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition

This is a course for basic data analysis, statistical model building and machine learning. The course aims to provide a set of tools that I hope you will find very useful, coupled with a principled approach to formulating solutions to problems in machine learning.

Please look here (MSc) or here (4th year) for the course aims and a brief overview of the material to be covered. There is also a more detailed introduction to LFD.

Preparatory Work

Students with little mathematical background would be well advised to do some preparatory work before the course begins.
