6.036 Introduction to Machine Learning
Offered By: Massachusetts Institute of Technology via Independent
Course Description
Overview
About This Course
This course introduces principles, algorithms, and applications of machine learning from the point of view of modeling and prediction. It includes formulation of learning problems and concepts of representation, over-fitting, and generalization. These concepts are exercised in supervised learning and reinforcement learning, with applications to images and to temporal sequences.
Learning Objectives
This course includes lectures, lecture notes, exercises, labs, and homework problems.
Recommended Prerequisites
Computer programming (python); Calculus; Linear Algebra
