Course Description

This course introduces and discusses advanced topics in machine learning. The objective is both to present some key topics not covered by basic graduate ML classes such as Foundations of Machine Learning, and to bring up advanced learning problems that can serve as an initiation to research or to the development of new techniques relevant to applications.

It is strongly recommended to those who can to also attend the Machine Learning Seminar.
