The goal of this course is to provide you with a high-level introduction to the vast umbrella of learning algorithms, called Machine Learning. Starting from probabilistic approaches to pattern recognition, to the state-of-art neural network algorithms, the course aims to introduce and motivate the increasing relevance of Machine Learning algorithms from theoy to practice.

As with any course, regardless of the subject, you do not really learn something until you sit down and try it out yourself. The lecture and assignments are designed with this in mind — you should expect to learn the material by interacting with it directly. The course material is designed assuming you have no prior experience developing of Machine Learning, but does assume knowledge of Probability and Statistic, Programming and Data Structures. You are expected to put in an appropriate amount of effort to complete the assignments. Ultimately, what you put into the course is what you will get out of it.
