Statistical Machine Learning

This course complements the Master's curriculum with models, methods and concepts mainly from the realm of machine learning. We will study intermediate to advanced models (e.g. trees, neural networks, ensembles), feature representations (e.g. kernels, adaptive basis functions) and strategies to ensure generalization (e.g. validation, regularization).

Participants are required to bring working knowledge in R or the willingness and effort to obtain that on the side. If you feel not comfortable with R, you may join the Bachelor module "Data Science I" in the first month of the winter semester to catch up (no credit).

Course Structure

This course is hands-on in that the weekly lecture is complemented by a weekly R Tutorial that we use to discuss, implement and practice the current topic.
