Overview The field of machine learning is concerned with the question of how to construct computer programs that automatically improve with experience. Recently, many successful machine learning applications have been developed, ranging from data-mining programs that learn to detect fraudulent credit card transactions, to information-filtering systems that learn users' reading preferences, to autonomous vehicles that learn to drive. There have also been important advances in the theory and algorithms that form the foundation of this field. This course will provide a broad introduction to the field of machine learning.
The Fall 2018 version of CS4780 featured an in-class Kaggle competition. The stuents had 3 weeks to beat my submission, for which I only had 5 minutes. Some students challenged me to show a screencast of me actually training and uploading the model in time, so here you go. Happy Xmas.
