Description

This podcast covers the material in Chapter 3 of my new book “Statistical Machine Learning: A unified framework” which discusses how to formally define machine learning algorithms. A learning machine is viewed as a dynamical system that is minimizing an objective function. In addition, the knowledge structure of the learning machine is interpreted as a preference relation graph w implicitly specified by the objective function. Also, the new book “The Practioner’s Guide to Graph Data” is reviewe
