Lecture Machine Learning (3V+1Ü) 

• Goal 

‣ Build machines that learn to perform a task from experience 

• Lecture 

‣ Focus on statistical machine learning techniques. 

‣ Current research developments and links to real-world 

applications, e.g. 

• Exercises 

– Is this email important or spam? 

– Is this credit card transaction correct or fraudulent? 

– Does this image contain a face? 

– What is the most likely cause for a patient’s symptoms? 

‣ Collect hands-on experience with the lecture topics 

‣ Pen & paper and Matlab-based implementation
