Lectures L8, L9, L10, L13 covers material which is part of the course content of 1RT003 only. Note that in the schedule the lectures are numbered according to the table above, also for 1RT705.
- [B] Christopher M. Bishop, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
. - [LWLS] Andreas Lindholm, Niklas Wahlström, Fredrik Lindsten, and Thomas B. Schön Machine Learning - A First Course for Engineers and Scientists Links to an external site.
- [KW] Diederik Kingma and Max Welling, An introduction to Variational Autoencoders Links to an external site.
NW = Niklas Wahlström
SH = Sara Hamis
JS = Jens Sjölund
ZZ = Zheng Zhao
TS = Thomas Schön
Note that recorded lectures from the previous years cover the material in different order and there might admin info in these which might be obsolete.
* = Bishop explains approximate inference (using Expectation propagation) in graphs in a quite complicated manner. The lecture follows a different approach. The exposition of time series in the lectures is also simpler than Bishop's.
