MACHINE LEARNING New

This document outlines the objectives and units of a Machine Learning course. The objectives are to familiarize students with supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning algorithms, implement basic machine learning algorithms, and understand how algorithms are evaluated. The units cover topics like classification, regression, tree models, linear models, probabilistic models, dimensionality reduction, and artificial neural networks. Students will learn to characterize algorithms, use support vector machines and regularized regression, and understand neural networks for non-linear functions.
