Machine Learning

Machine learning algorithms detect patterns in data and use these patterns to make decisions. This course introduces the theory and practice of machine learning. Tasks considered may include classification, regression, clustering, dimensionality reduction, text embedding, and reinforcement learning. Applications may include predictive analytics, data visualization, pattern recognition, and strategic game-playing. We will also discuss the social implications of automated decision systems. This course fulfills the Responsible Computing requirement for the Computer Science major. (Not open to students who have already taken CSCI 1051.)
