Introduction

-Statistics, data science and machine learning form important fields of -research in modern science. They describe how to learn and make -predictions from data, as well allowing us to extract important -correlations about physical process and the underlying laws of motion -in large data sets. The latter, big data sets, appear -frequently in essentially all disciplines, from the traditional Science, -Technology, Mathematics and Engineering fields to Life Science, Law, education research, -the Humanities and -the Social Sciences. It has become more and more common to see -research projects on big data in for example the Social -Sciences where extracting patterns from complicated survey data is one of many research directions. -Having a solid grasp of data analysis and machine learning -is thus becoming central to scientific computing in many -fields, and competences and skills within the fields of machine learning -and scientific computing are nowadays strongly requested by many -potential employers. The latter cannot be overstated, familiarity with -machine learning has almost become a prerequisite for many of the most -exciting employment opportunities, whether they are in bioinformatics, -life science, physics or finance, in the private or the public -sector. This author has had several students or met students who have -been hired recently based on their skills and competences in -scientific computing and data science, often with marginal knowledge -of machine learning. - -

-Machine learning is a subfield of computer science, and is closely -related to computational statistics. It evolved from the study of -pattern recognition in artificial intelligence (AI) research, and has -made contributions to AI tasks like computer vision, natural language -processing and speech recognition. -Machine learning represents the -science of giving computers the ability to learn without being -explicitly programmed. The idea is that there exist generic -algorithms which can be used to find patterns in a broad class of data -sets without having to write code specifically for each problem. The -algorithm will build its own logic based on the data. - -

-Machine learning is an extremely rich field, in spite of its young age. The -increases we have seen during the last three decades in computational -capabilities have been followed by developments of methods and -techniques for analyzing and handling large date sets, relying heavily -on statistics, computer science and mathematics. The field is rather -new and developing rapidly. Popular software packages written in -Python for machine learning like Scikit-learn, Tensorflow, -PyTorch and Keras, all freely available at their respective GitHub sites, -encompass communities of developers in the thousands or more. And the number -of code developers and contributors keeps increasing. Not all the -algorithms and methods can be given a rigorous mathematical -justification, opening up thereby large rooms for experimenting -and trial and error and thereby exciting new developments. -However, a solid command of linear algebra, multivariate theory, -probability theory, statistical data analysis, -understanding errors and Monte Carlo methods are central elements in a proper understanding of many of -algorithms and methods we will discuss. - -

Learning outcomes

- -

-These lectures aim at giving you an overview of central aspects of -statistical data analysis as well as some of the central algorithms -used in machine learning. We will introduce a variety of central -algorithms and methods essential for studies of data analysis and -machine learning. - -

-Hands-on projects and experimenting with data and algorithms plays a central role in -these lectures, and our hope is, through the various -projects and exercies, to expose you to fundamental -research problems in these fields, with the aim to reproduce state of -the art scientific results. You will learn to develop and -structure large codes for studying these systems, get acquainted with -computing facilities and learn to handle large scientific projects. A -good scientific and ethical conduct is emphasized throughout the -course. More specifically, you will - -

- -There are several topics we will cover here, spanning from a -statistical data analysis and its basic concepts such expectation -values, variance, covariance, correlation functions and errors, via -well-known probability distribution functions like uniform -distribution, the binomial distribution, the Poisson distribution and -simple and multivariate normal distributions to central elements of -Bayesian statistics and modeling. We will also remind the reader about -central elements from linear algebra and standard methods based on -linear algebra used to fit functions such Cubic splines and gradient -methods for data optimization and the Singular-value decomposition and -least square methods for parameterizing data. - -

-We will also cover Monte Carlo methods, Markov chains, well-known -algorithms for sampling stochastic events like the Metropolis-Hastings -and Gibbs sampling methods. An important aspect of all our -calculations is a proper estimation of errors. Here we will also -discuss famous resampling techniques like the blocking, bootstrapping -and jackknife methods. - -

Types of Machine Learning

- -

-The approaches to machine learning are many, but are often split into two main categories. -In supervised learning we know the answer to a problem, -and let the computer deduce the logic behind it. On the other hand, unsupervised learning -is a method for finding patterns and relationship in data sets without any prior knowledge of the system. -Some authours also operate with a third category, namely reinforcement learning. This is a paradigm -of learning inspired by behavioral psychology, where learning is achieved by trial-and-error, -solely from rewards and punishment. - -

-Another way to categorize machine learning tasks is to consider the desired output of a system. -Some of the most common tasks are: - -

- -The methods we cover have three main topics in common, irrespective of -whether we deal with supervised or unsupervised learning. The first -ingredient is normally our data set, the second is a model which is -normally a function of some parameters. The last ingredient is a -so-called cost function which allows us to present an estimate on -how good our model is in reproducing the data it is supposed to train. - -

-Here we will build our machine learning approach on elements of the -statistical foundation discussed above, with elements from data -analysis, stochastic processes etc. We will discuss the following -machine learning algorithms - -
