Title: Introduction to Machine Learning

Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering

Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan

Talk Abstract:

The field of machine learning, which can be described briefly as enabling computers to make accurate predictions using past experiences, has recently shown a remarkable development with the aid of the rapid increase in computer storage capacity and processing power. Machine learning methods have been widely used in bioinformatics, robotics, business analysis with many other disciplines. In this lecture, I will walk you step-by-step into the fundamental of Machine Learning. I will explain some popular machine learning algorithms and show its application using Python.
