Slides

Readings

  • The Perceptron Algorithm: Bishop 4.1.7, Mitchell 4.4, Murphy 8.5.4
  • Support Vector Machines: Bishop 7.1

What You Should Know Afterward

  • The difference between an on-line and batch algorithm.
  • The perceptron algorithm.
  • The importance of margins in machine learning.
  • The definitions of, and intuitions behind, these concepts:
    • The margin of a classifier relative to a dataset.
    • What a constrained optimization problem is.
    • The primal form of the SVM optimization problem.
    • What slack variables are and why and when they are used in SVMs.
  • How to explain the different parts (constraints, optimization criteria) of the primal and dual forms for the SVM.
  • How the perceptron and SVM are similar and different.
