Course Description


機器學習領域有各種不同演算法,讓電腦可以從資料中學習,完成目標任務。隨著各領域數位化資料的累積,機器學習已經應用在五花八門 的各種領域。例如早期應用在資料探開,搜索,推薦上。到後來可以應用在各種非結構資料上,如語音、影像、文字等。如今機器學習更是 應用在各種科學領域,例如天文學、生物學、化學等。 機器學習結合了統計、數學與資訊科學等學門。廣義來說,機器學習研究如何讓電腦具有學習的能力,從以往的經驗及 數據中學習到知 識,以增進電腦本身的效能,因此機器學習也可解釋為利用資料來建立一些模擬真實世界的模型 (Models),利用這些模式來描述資料中 的特徵(Patterns)以及關係(Relations)。這些模式有兩種用處,第 一,瞭解資料的特徵與關係可以提供決策所需要的資訊。第 二,資料的特徵可以幫助進行預測。

本課程包括手寫作業以及程式作業,以及自學ML應用介紹(ML self-tutorial)、期中/期末報告 (最多2人一組)。 請在後面了解自學ML應用介紹(ML self-tutorial)、期中/期末報告等要求。syllabus.
