Machine Learning
Introduction: Well-Posed learning problems, Basic concepts, Designing a learning
system, Issues in machine learning. Types of machine learning: Learning
associations, Supervised learning (Classification and Regression Trees, Support
vector machines), Unsupervised learning (Clustering), Instance-based learning (K-
nearest neighbour, locally weighted regression, Radial Basis Function),
Reinforcement learning (Learning Task, Q-learning, Value function approximation,
Temporal difference learning).
Decision Tree Learning: Decision tree representation, appropriate problems for
decision tree learning, Univariate Trees (Classification and Regression), Multivariate
Trees, Basic Decision Tree Learning algorithms, Hypothesis space search in
decision tree learning, Inductive bias in decision tree learning, Issues in decision tree
learning.
Bayesian Learning: Bayes theorem and concept learning, Bayes optimal classifier,
Gibbs algorithms, Naive Bayes Classifier, Bayesian belief networks, The EM
algorithm
Artificial Neural Network: Neural network representation, Neural Networks as a
paradigm for parallel processing, Linear discrimination, pairwise separation, Gradient
Descent, Logistic discrimination, Perceptron, Training a perceptron,
