Machine Learning at EMC

This is a course in machine learning presented in 2012 at the St. Petersburg office of EMC. The course is very similar to this one but goes a bit further; this page contains the slides for EMC presentations not included in the AU course (all slides are in Russian).

1. Prior distributions. Conjugate priors.
Slides ()
2. Graphical models and the message passing algorithm. Approximate inference.
Slides ()
3. Bayesian rating models, TrueSkill.
Slides ()
4. Latent Dirichlet Allocation. User behaviour models for click logs.
Slides ()
5. Sampling.
Slides ()
6. Reinforcement learning.
Slides ()
7. Recommender systems.
