Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces in Machine LearningArthur Gretton (with Hugh Dance) |
---|
This course represents half of Advanced Topics in Machine Learning (COMP 0083) from the UCL CS MSc on Machine Learning. The other half is a course on Convex Optimization.
This page will contain slides and detailed notes for the kernel part of the course. The assignment may also be found here (at the bottom of the page). Note that the slides will be updated as the course progresses, and I modify them to answer questions I get in the classes. I'll put the date of last update next to each document - be sure to get the latest one. Let me know if you find errors.
There are sets of practice exercises and solutions further down the page (after the slides).
For questions on the course material, please email Hugh Dance.
