Machine Learning for Medical Systems

This web page provides information on the module 'Machine Learning for Medical Systems'. The module consists of the lecture 'Machine Learning', which is given during winter term 2013/2014 by Andreas Nürnberger, and the seminar 'Machine Learning for Medical Systems', which will took place every two weeks. The time for the seminar will be coordinated at the first lecture date. More information will be published on this site later. This site will be regularly updated throughout the course.

The module provides an introduction to the principles, techniques, and applications of Machine Learning. Topics covered include among others:

value functions
concept spaces and concept learning
instance based learning
clustering
decision trees
neural networks
Bayesian learning
reinforcement learning
association rule learning
genetic algorithms
