Descriptif

Objectives

The objective of this course is to provide students the basic knowledge of mathematical tools that they will often encountered in machine learning and data science. The emphasis will be more on the « practical » understanding of the algorithms rather than the detailed analysis of the rather sophisticated mathematical tools beyond the scene.
