Machine learning is the study that allows computers to adaptively improve their performance with experience accumulated from the data observed. Our two sister courses teach the most fundamental algorithmic, theoretical and practical tools that any user of machine learning needs to know. This first course of the two would focus more on mathematical tools, and the other course would focus more on algorithmic tools. [機器學習旨在讓電腦能由資料中累積的經驗來自我進步。我們的兩項姊妹課程將介紹各領域中的機器學習使用者都應該知道的基礎演算法、理論及實務工具。本課程將較為著重數學類的工具,而另一課程將較為著重方法類的工具。]

We firmly believe that open access to learning is a powerful socioeconomic equalizer. NTU is especially delighted to join other world-class universities on Coursera and to offer quality university courses to the Chinese-speaking population. We hope to transform the rich rewards of learning from a limited commodity to an experience available to all.
Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
第一講:The Learning Problem
what machine learning is and its connection to applications and other fields
第二講:Learning to Answer Yes/No
your first learning algorithm (and the world's first!) that "draws the line" between yes and no by adaptively searching for a good line based on data
第三講:Types of Learning
learning comes with many possibilities in different applications, with our focus being binary classification or regression from a batch of supervised data with concrete features
第四講:Feasibility of Learning
learning can be "probably approximately correct" when given enough statistical data and finite number of hypotheses

TOP REVIEWS FROM 機器學習基石上 (MACHINE LEARNING FOUNDATIONS)---MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATIONS
This course give a theoretical analysis of machine learning,though there is not much introduction of algorithm in detail,but this helped me open a new door of machine learning.
Lin is a very funny teacher.The course is really valuable.i will recap this course many times.thanks teacher lin again.thks
基石上是很基础的一些知识,VC等等,不过我觉得作为想搞应用的人来说,这些底层数学原理不用学的那么详细,理解含义和思想即可,但是知道这些还是必须的!
許多名詞似乎是自創新詞,但都能很好地描述ML的理論 課程的統計很吃重,難度的分配有些不均勻\n\n整體來說是非常適合有數學底子學生的扎實入門課程
