Course Handout Part II


Date : 06.01.2025

In addition to part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this portion
gives further specific details regarding the course.

Course No. : BITS F464


Course Title : Machine Learning
Instructor In Charge : Prof. Paresh Saxena

1. Scope

Machine Learning is an exciting topic to learn to design machines that can learn from examples.
This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning while emphasizing the role of
probability and optimization in developing theoretical foundations, algorithms and
methodologies for machine learning. The course covers the overview of several probability
distributions relevant to understand the ML algorithms. Further, the course also covers linear
models for regression and classification, neural networks, Kernel methods and mixture models.
In addition to the theoretical concepts, the course will also provide several coding examples and
exercises.

2. Objectives of the course


The objectives of the course are as follows:
• To understand a wide variety of learning algorithms.
• To understand how to evaluate models generated from data.
• To apply the algorithms to a real problem, optimize the models learned and understand
the achievable expected accuracy by applying the models.
