Title: Representation Learning in Machine Learning

Instructor(s): Victor Veitch

Teaching Assistant(s): TBA

Class Schedule: Sec 1: TR 11:00 AM-12:20 PM in Jones 303

Description: This course is a seminar on representation learning in machine learning. The core questions in this are: how do machine learning systems recover the structure present in real-world data, how can we expose this recovered structure to human analysts, and how does this help us in real-world applications? In this seminar, we will read and discuss papers from the modern research literature on these subjects. Students should have previous exposure to machine learning and deep learning.
