About this course: 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。]

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
4 videos
- Video: Learning with Different Data Label
- Video: Learning with Different Protocol
- Video: Learning with Different Input Space
WEEK 4
第四講：Feasibility of Learning
learning can be "probably approximately correct" when given enough statistical data and finite number of hypotheses
4 videos
- Video: Probability to the Rescue
- Video: Connection to Learning

WEEK 5
第五講：Training versus Testing
what we pay in choosing hypotheses during training: the growth function for representing effective number of choices
4 videos
- Video: Effective Number of Lines
- Video: Effective Number of Hypotheses

National Taiwan University
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.More courses information, the official Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ntumooc2017/
Ratings and Reviews
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.
这个课程让我对机器学习理论基础有了更深的理解，谢谢各位老师助教们！
以前曾在台大上过课，对台大老师授课循序渐进的思路十分钦佩。这绝对是一门能够吸引学生全神贯注听讲的机器学习课程。没有复杂的推导，有生动的例程和老师细心的讲解，可以推测老师一定是花了许多心血经营这门课程。
