Overview
This course focuses on analysis of high-dimensional structured data including profiles, images, and other types of functional data using statistical machine learning. A variety of topics such as functional data analysis, image processing, multilinear algebra and tensor analysis, and regularization in high-dimensional regression and its applications including low rank and sparse learning is covered. Optimization methods commonly used in statistical modeling and machine learning and their computational aspects are also discussed.
This course is not foundational and does not count toward any specializations at present, but it can be counted as a free elective.
Course Goals
By the end of the course, you will:
- Learn machine learning and statistical methods for image processing and analysis of functional data.
- Learn a variety of regularization techniques and their applications.
- Be able to use multilinear algebra and tensor analysis techniques for performing dimension-reduction on a broad range of high-dimensional data.
- Understand how to use well-known optimization methods to create efficient learning algorithms.
