CSE 291. Topics in High Dimensional Data Analysis
An advanced graduate seminar in statistical methods for dimensionality reduction, feature selection, matrix factorization, Bayesian regularization, and distance metric learning. There will be some formal lectures, but most class meetings will be devoted to discussion of recent papers or student projects.
Prerequisites
Enrollment by permission of the instructor.
Students should have completed previous graduate coursework in machine
learning.
