The following are last minute news you should be aware of ;-)
07/08/2010: Summer grades are out details are here! 23/07/2010: the exam of 26/07/2010 will be in room 1.4 starting at 9:00 am 29/06/2010: homework EXTENSION, new deadline 10/07/2010 16/06/2010: the homework is out! Turn it in by 05/07/2010 !!! 09/03/2010: the course starts today!
Contents
Course Aim & Organization
The objective of this course is to give an advanced presentation of the techniques most used in artificial intelligence and machine learning for pattern recognition, knowledge discovery, and data analysis/modeling.
Teachers
The course is composed by a blending of lectures and exercises by the course teacher and some teaching assistants.
- Matteo Matteucci: the course teacher
- Davide Eynard: the teaching assistant on clustering
- Simone Tognetti: the teaching assistant on feature selection/projection
Course Program and Schedule
These techniques are presented from a theoretical (i.e., statistics and information theory) and practical perspective through the descriptions of algorithms, their implementation, and applications.The course is composed by a set of selfcontained lectures on specific techniques such as decision trees, decision rules, Bayesian networks, clustering, etc. Supervised and unsupervised learning are discussed in the framework of classification and clustering problems. The course outline is:
- Machine Learning and Pattern Classification: in this part of the course the general concepts of Machine Learning and Patter Recognition are introduced with a brief review of statistics and information theory;
- Unsupervised Learning Techniques: the most common approaches to unsupervised learning are described mostly focusing on clustering techniques, rule induction, Bayesian networks and density estimators using mixure models;
- Supervised Learning Techniques: in this part of the course the most common techniques for Supervised Learning are described: decision trees, decision rules, Bayesian classifiers, hidden markov models, lazy learners, etc.
- Feature Selection and Reduction: techniques for data rediction and feature selection will be presented with theory and applications
- Model Validation and Selection: model validation and selection are orthogonal issues to previous technique; during the course the fundamentals are described and discussed (e.g., AIC, BIC, cross-validation, etc. ).
A detailed schedule of the course can be found here; topics are just indicative while days and teachers are corret "up to some last minute change".
Course Evaluation
The course evaluation is composed by two parts:
- A homework with exercises covering the whole program that counts for 30% of the course grade
- A oral examination covering the whole progran that count for 70% of the course grade
The homework is just one per year, it will be published at the end of the course and you will have 15 days to turn it in. It is not mandatory, however if you do not turn it in you loose 30% of the course grade. There is the option of substitute the homework with a practical project, but this has to be discussed and agreed with the course professor.

Homeworks
The homework, although not mandatory, counts for the 30% of the course grade (i.e., if you do not turn it in you loose 30% of the final grade). You have 15 days to turn it in to the teacher. This year the homework is due by the 5th of July! Please turn in a digital (or digitalized) copy of your homework.
Past years course homework; you can use them to make some practice and prepare this year homework ;-)
- Homework for the academic year 2008/2009
- Homework for the academic year 2007/2008 Part 1 and Part 2
- Homework for the academic year 2006/2007
- Homework for the academic year 2005/2006
Additional Lecture Notes and Bibliography
- Bayesian Networks without tears: a useful introduction to Bayesian Network.
- Fundamental Problems for HMM: a document to introduce Hidden Markov Models and the three fundamental questions about them.
- An exercise on modeling and reasoning with Bayesian Networks.
- The Pearl's message passing algorithm deserves some extra thoughts
