Foundations of Machine Learning

The problem of statistical learning. Training versus test (Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, training and generalization). Linear model (linear, non-linear and logistic regression). What it is and how to detect and deal with overfitting. Machine learning principles: Ocam razor, sample bias and data snooping. Similarity-based methods (nearest neighbor, radial basis functions, density estimation). Neural networks (MLP, training, approximation and regularization). Support vector machines. Aggregation methods. Selection of variables.
