Lecture

We investigate popular algorithms applied for supervised and unsupervised machine learning on real data and consider test-set design principles, model and feature selection as well as performance metrics. The discussed considered cover linear/logistic/multivariate/multivariable regression, Support vector machines, artificial neural networks, k-nearest neighbour, k-means, self organizing maps, decision trees, naive Bayes and Bayesian networks, hidden markov models, conditional random fields and principle component analysis.

The course will address selected topics in Pervasive Computing with a special focus on Machine learning and activity recognition from sensor-data. In addition, other fields of Pervasive Computing are covered to provide students with a good overview on current advances and research challenges. Depending on the interest of the students, the emphasis on these additional topics may differ.
