Beschreibung

Machine learning uses tools from a variety of mathematical fields.

During this applied mathematics course, we cover a summary of the mathematical tools from linear algebra, calculus, optimization and probability theory that are commonly used in machine learning. This part provides a solid mathematical foundation for an introductory class in machine learning, such as the course “Machine Learning in Precision Medicine”, offered in parallel. We will introduce further mathematical aspects related to machine learning, including optimization, as well as information theory.
