Course overview

This course focuses on the theoretical foundations of machine learning. It aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills of the mathematical underpinnings of machine learning algorithms, including linear algebra, calculus, probability, information theory and optimisation, and to develop students understanding and ability on how to apply the mathematical concepts and theories to the design of machine learning algorithms for solving fundamental machine learning problems such as regression, classification, dimensionality reduction and density estimation.

  • Mathematical Foundation For Machine Learning
