Course Description

This course introduces the foundations of intelligent systems, such as probabilistic modeling and inference, statistical machine learning, computer vision, and robotics, to undergraduate students. Topics include Bayesian networks, hidden Markov models, Kalman filters, Markov decision processes, linear regression, linear classification, and nonparametric models. Students will also learn about how these methods are applied to practical applications such as computer vision and robotics. Lectures will be in English.

Announcements

  • [10/02] The midterm will be held in class on 10/23 (Thur). The exam is closed-book but you can bring one sheet (A4) of hand written notes on a single side (the other side must be blank). You have to turn in this cheat sheet with your exam.
  • [09/04] There was a typo in lecture 2 notes. A random variable is a function from Omega (sample space) to a real number.
  • [07/29] Please read the Ethics of Learning.
