Grades: HW + project.

In this class we will discuss foundations of statistical pattern recognition. We will talk about the theoretical foundation of finding patterns based on statistical principles and discuss various algorithms for classification, regression, clustering and dimensionality reduction. Every student will be expected to work on a project. Collaboration on a project is allowed (and encouraged). The page with project suggestions and discussions can be found here. If you have a CSE account, you should be able to access and edit the page, if you don't, send me an e-mail and I'll add you to the list.
