Guides:

  • A Not-So-Gentle Introduction to Machine Learning (Last revised on 08/09/2017). This is a short guide on some of the most used machine learning techniques. The guide is divided into two parts: (i) Supervised learning, where both regression and classification are tackled by introducing, inter-alia, probabilistic and non probabilistic linear regression models in the context of both the Maximum Likelihood and the Bayesian framework, K-NN, CART, and Support Vector Machines (ii) Unsupervised learning, where both clustering and dimensionally reduction are talked by introducing probabilistic (Gaussian Mixture Models) and non probabilistic (K-Means) clustering, Principal Component Analysis, and Multidimensional Scaling.
