COS 324 - Introduction to Machine Learning Princeton University Fall 2017 A thorough introduction to machine learning principles such as online learning, decision making, gradient-based learning, and empirical risk minimization. It also explores regression, classification, dimensionality reduction, ensemble methods, neural networks, and deep learning. The course material is self-contained and based on freely available resources. The course provides an introduction to machine learning.

**Topic covered**:

- Online learning and decision making
- Learning from examples and generalization
- Empirical risk minimization and regularization
- Introduction to convex analysis
- Gradient-based learning
- Implementation and analysis of learning algorithms for regression, binary classification, multiclass categorization, and ranking problems
- Dimensionality reduction methods
- Ensemble methods and boosting
- Neural networks and deep learning
- Markov decision precesses    **NOTICE:**  All material of the course is self-contained and based on freely available books and surveys.
