Matrix Methods for Machine Learning

Description

Basic linear algebra operations and their use in approximations underlying machine learning, with applications to solving regression, classification, and clustering problems.

Students completing the course will be able to:

·       Utilize linear algebra to represent system behavior.

·       Fit a linear algebra model to real-world data and their use in deriving optima. 

·       Utilize linear algebra for dimensionality reduction and to evaluate the quality of a regression, classification, or clustering model.
