Welcome Hacker Dojo

 

Modern Applied Machine Learning 201

 

 

Organizer: Doug Chang

Instructors: Dr. Michael Bowles & Dr. Patricia Hoffman

 

This is an advanced Hands On Data Mining and Machine Learning class. We assume you are familiar with basic statistical concepts and have the ability to write programs running different algorithms on public data sets. We assume knowledge at the level of Stats 202 as a prerequisite. (If you have taken our Machine Learning 101 and 102 classes, you are well prepared for this course.)  

 

We've put together three sequences of classes.  This is the second sequence.  Our objective for students in Machine Learning 201 is to understand advanced regression techniques in detail.  Both Generalized Linear Models and Generalized Additive Models will be addressed. You should be able to extend or modify these methods to suit the needs of your particular problems.  The second five week session (Machine Learning 202) will culminate in the students giving presentations on papers they have read.   You may start with Machine Learning 201 without taking the Machine Learning one hundred level sequence, as long as you are familiar with and have programmed some of the data mining techniques covered in that sequence.

 

We are continuing to use R as our lingua franca for looking at homework problems, discussing them and comparing different solution approaches.   You should have previously loaded R onto your laptop or desk computer before you come to the first class.   http://cran.r-project.org/  As this is the second sequence, we expect you have previously used R.  For your review, R are here: References for R,  Reference for R Comments,  More R references.  To integrate R with Eclipse click here.
