Course description

The course reviews advanced topics in machine learning. Machine learning is the study of models and algorithms that learn information from data. Machine learning ideas underlie many algorithms in computer vision, speech processing, bioinformatics, robotics, computer graphics and other areas. The 2008 edition of the course will focus on dimensionality reduction and manifold learning.

Prerequisites: the course is intended for graduate students who have taken an introductory course in machine learning (such as CSE276).

Textbook

There is no required textbook. Selected readings will appear in this web page in due course. The following are two reviews of dimensionality reduction and manifold learning techniques:
