Information for international students
The course will be held in English.
Yleistä
This course belongs to the Algorithms and Machine Learning sub-pogramme in the Master's programme of the department, and together with 582637 Project in Probabilistic Models (2 cr), it forms one of the three optional courses of the sub-programme.
For students in the old Intelligent Systems specialisation area: this course replaces, together with the project work 582637 Project in Probabilistic Models (2 cr), the course Three Concepts: Probability (6 cr).
The format of the course in Spring 2012 follows roughly the format of the course in 2011.
The course is an introductory course, and only elementary knowledge on probability theory is required as a prerequisite. Different parts of the course, however, have different requirements with respect to the mathematical machinery needed to apply the concepts in question. Typically some analysis and elementary mathematical statistics is required. At the very least we assume that the participants are familiar with topics covered in the courses 582630 Design and analysis of algorithms (4 cr) and 582631 Introduction to machine learning (4 cr).
Kurssin suorittaminen
There will be weekly exercises and a final exam. Solutions to the weekly exercises need to be delivered to the course assistant before each exercise session (by paper or by email).
The maximum number of points that can be earned from the exercises is 12 and from the course exam 48, so the total maximum is 60 points (and you need 30 points in total and 24 points from the exam to pass the course). The course exam will be held on 27.2. 16.00-18.30 (a calculator is allowed but no other electronic devices or written material).
Grades are now available.
Please give feedback (especially verbal comments are welcome).
